Ask HN: Stock for cloud space, would you do it?

I was thinking what if cloud storage companies traded cloud space for stock. If you were a small team and you were looking for a stop gap for a viral app/website between >$500/mo storage bills and big enough to get funded. It would be a good way for a cloud company to win business/get lock in on potential great future customer. what do you think would you do it if they offered.
