Hmm. I wonder why I've never heard an offer like this end with "I'll give you 51% of the business since I know you'll be doing most of the work but its such a great idea I just want to be part of building it." That's about the only way I'd ever take one of these seriously. Kudos on offering 49% though. Usually, its more like 10%. I don't mean to sound off-putting, but this is like showing up at an archery competition, finding a good archer and asking if he'll let you tell him to shoot at the bulls-eye in exchange for more than half of the winnings.
