How valuable is your other friend to the startup? It might be easier to start this on your own without including any friends in the same circle. It's always going to be awkward if you're talking about how great your startup is going and he got left out. Keep business separate from your friendships. Businesses are a lot easier to find than a good group of friends. Most startups fail, friendships can easily be forever. Don't mix them if you think it's going to be trouble from the start. Good luck with your startup and keeping your circle of friends together.
