It sounds like you are ready to launch. I can't imagine walking away after your site is ready and before it even launches!
a) See it through the launch. Send your post to your co-founder. Try an forget about "effort" and "sacrifice". Is he adding value at all? Is he going to once you launch (i.e. sales or something?).
b) This sounds to me like a theory/reality problem. I love thinking up ideas and plans. I hate when they get all messy when I try and bring them into the real world. It sounds like you might be interested in the "new development" work and have tired of your less-than-perfect implementation. Once you launch, is there a chance you'll get more funding, another customer to help with funding or anything?
Also, you might try and separate your feelings about the work and the actual changes of the business. Just because you hate it now doesn't mean it won't be successful (not that I'm advising you to do something you hate...).
- thorax 18y agoIt's also important to note that once people are using your product, it's a different sort of motivation you'll see. People count on you, they'll have feedback, nitpicks, whatever. You will see what needs to be changed and what can work and what can't. Absolutely launch. Mark it as beta/experimental if you don't think you can afford to adapt it as needed, but you have to put it out the door and see what happens. I think the original poster is going to find that the questions he's asking will be answered once he launches. Having a product in the field is the best way to see what's viable and what's not. You'll get a "yay"/"nay" answer once that happens and the world will look different than it does today. The cofounder might also step up a bit when he sees there's something out there in people's faces and his name (eventually) is on it.
