Should be equal split. Most of the work will be technical. 23% is absolutely an insult, you shouldn’t take anything less than 50%

I think it’s more likely that your lawyers are stupid than YC is wrong about anything related to startups. Ideas are worth nothing. The technical founder could talk to 30 people in your industry and come to the same if not better conclusion for how the problems should be solved. Majority of the work will be building product. Should be equal split always

out of everything you’ve written I feel like I still haven’t heard you actually say anything

probably lose the corporate buzzword bingo speak, it’s really off putting

It’s really just Stanford and Berkeley if we’re honest

Get rid of teams completely and replace jira with linear and you have most startups saas stack. Also will need a compliance saas, accounting, banking, contract mgmt, and cap table mgmt. vanta/secureframe, quickbooks, mercury, pulley, deel

You did pretty much the worst possible thing in terms of formation and vesting schedules, etc. You now need a very good lawyer to unfuck this situation. You shouldn’t speak to the person you’re trying to oust before speaking to your lawyer. Everything you put in writing can be used against you. Probably zero chance he accepts anything less than 1/3 of the company, if not more. You’ll have to start over if you want him out

This has to be satire I’m dying. 5 years no mvp lmao what have you guys been doing???

It’s why most people do b2b saas. Narrowly defined problems, with people that have money and value their time

Figuring out what to build is just as hard as knowing how to build imo
