Thanks. I'm wondering specifically in terms of compensation. The reason we are looking for a technical cofounder over hiring developers directly is to have someone who is a co-owner of the business, aligning their interests with ours and allowing us to budget funding for employees and marketing.

I would think there is little difference, you already want entrepreneurial developers in an early phase startup (later on when you need to hire dozens of developers at a time, there won't be enough entrepreneurial ones). I'd wait until after an larger Angel/VC round, and not get a technical co founder before funding. After funding it's easier to get a better technical co founder for less equity.
