Yeah, I agree. He does not have any big startup success behind him (not as a founding employee). His connections are genuine and he has the ability to raise fun

Yeah, I agree. He does not have any big startup success behind him (not as a founding employee). His connections are genuine and he has the ability to raise funds. As far as patents are concerned - in general, I think it depends. There are cases where a patent is very valuable but these are few and far between, But even if there is an uneven split due to any of the above reasons, my gut feeling tells me that at least 40% should belong to the technical co founder (if there is no "salary" being paid).
