Does he even give an excuse for missing the meeting? It's possible that his absence is his way of telling you that he doesn't think meeting everyday is important. I would hope it's not just that he forgets or can't wake up that early at least. In general, intelligence is a critical feature of a good partner but reliability and chemistry are more important. If you do start a company with this person, you are getting married for 5 years (or at least you have to treat it that way). If there is already friction now, that should be telling you that you don't have the right fit. At the stage you are at now you should be running at full steam instead of wondering why you are sitting alone in the morning. I suggest breaking it off. You'll be thankful later when you find a partner on the same wavelength and things really click.
