It's not the end of the world if your cofounders aren't ready to work full-time. It depends why. If they're in grad school, for example, and only willing to work on the startup on the side, that could be ok, so long as one of you will work full-time. (That's how it was with Viaweb.) It would not be so good if they merely had jobs they weren't willing to quit to work for the new co. Then it's kind of a vote of no confidence in the new co. And since they'd be the new co, that means a vote of no confidence in themselves. If that's the situation, I'd try to find at least one new cofounder who was more enthusiastic.
