If you are the technical co-founder who is writing code you should ensure you have legal protections before anyone else has access to what you have written.
This can be a legal agreement or built in protections via copyright law.
Same as any author who produces work that others can profit off of in perpetuity, don't sign your built in protections away.
- neilv 2y agoIn the example I'm giving, code IP isn't very relevant to a business cofounder screwing, because the (real or perceived) value of the code IP is less than the relationships that may be tied to the business cofounder. All the code IP protections mean, in this regard, is that the technical cofounder has less value comparably tied to them personally.
