You guys have contributed equals parts so far create the company and split it evenly. Don't be greedy, focus on making the pie bigger not getting a bigger piece of the pie. Don't complain because she might benefit from your work along with you.
As a co founder, she should have a commitment to the project and will probably contribute in whatever capacity she can for the time being. If she is as valuable as you claim, she is worth keeping around and will probably return as soon as she can. If you need help with your project, get some.
- sgallant 15y agoVery good points. To be honest, I'm not too concerned with ownership. However, I do have a sense of this situation not being fair. The real problem is that I need her help, and I'm going to have a really tough time finding someone who has her passion, skill set and motivation.
- intended 15y agoAh, thats probably the most clear cut description of your problem then. So for argument sake - this could just as well be a male co-founder who has a major personal issue that he needs to take care of, but his skills and presence is needed. So this is a "see what knobs you can turn" situation. What are your hard limits - do you have to be cranking it now? Can you focus on some other part of the project? can you slow down the pace? Do you have to meet some deadlines? Can their work be done in advance? Basically - What are the knobs you have? Figure that out, and then twist to get the best fit. As someone pointed out, a good co-founder is hard to find. Also, this is a pretty important time for her too, shes got two things she is strongly invested in, and having to make a choice like this sucks.
