It's not YOUR startup. Your startup would mean 100% of ownership.

> 20% for me for now because I work remotely.
Do you have any documentation for this 20% stake ownership? If not, you can be replaced in an instant.
Are these two founders in the same country? Yes, well expect to have decisions made without your input.
There is also the challenge of the other founders appreciating your input into the company. You are doing everything. They won't appreciate this and they won't see the amount of work either.
Non-technical founders know squat and they don't care either about how much time it takes to do things.

I've gone through this myself. I was a "founder" in 1 startup with a non-technical founder and before that I was a "small" equity holder in another company, which was founded by 3 non-technicals.
In both circumstances I was just an employee doing my job. No upside at all. I didn't come away with anything but experience in the respective industry.

If you are going to stay, then I suggest to learn how to implement the tech for this startup and in turn, can provide you with a springboard for your own startup and if this is the case. Ensure you are getting paid!
- dabockster 8y ago> Ensure you are getting paid! Jumping from this, even if OP is getting paid he/she should make sure they're not doing anything sketchy with their pay/tax documents. I've had to go to the IRS (US tax agency) because a former employer filed me on their business taxes as a contractor when I worked in the office as an employee. Some of my colleagues who also worked at startups in the past told me about pay discrepancies when times got tough for the business.
