As a founder, you are the only one with the power to change the things you don't like about your company. If you don't think you have the right people with the right energy, change that aspect of the company. It sounds a bit like you have capitulated to how things are... I worked for a startup once where the founders had hired a CEO to manage things. They just stood by while the CEO ran the company into the ground even though it was in their power to step in at any moment. They chose not to have a confrontation over having a company. Don't be that owner. Have a very serious conversation with your co-founder about how you feel and that you are on the brink of pulling out. Maybe that will make him listen to you, but have a very well laid out plan for what you want and how you want things to be, including any people you may want to replace.
