I think it's a bad blanket rule.
Founder conflict is a major risk for an early-stage startup failing, so having the wrong co-founder is more dangerous than going at something solo.
- linkish_io 7y agoExactly my thought. Why should the founder be forced to give 50% of equity to someone for doing something he can do himself alone.
- verdverm 7y agoAre you worried about dilution? Why does it need to be 50%?
- linkish_io 7y agoUsually the idea goes 50-50 split between founders. Unless the guy with the idea has an upper hand in terms of traction or mvp built.
