No one, but I’d anticipate most would request close to that.

  Have you actually proven this hypothesis. I know of at least two instances where a co-founder got less than half when joining at a very early stage.

    What do you recommend? I’ve built the site from scratch and spent almost 20k on content creation.

      I think you have to find a couple of possible co-founders, evaluate who you want and who wants to join, and have a frank discussion with them about an equity split. It's really hard to recommend in the general because you might find a co-founder who brings so much to the table (money, skills, relationships, experience) that they deserve 50% or more) and you might find one that only brings technical skills in which case the amount might be much much less (15-35%). It's really all a negotiation, but you can't figure it out until you know who is interested in joining. Maybe no one will be and all this discussion will be for naught.

        Thanks for the insight! Reached out to an old friend and I’m now shilling him. Wish me luck ;)
