From my experience, about 1-2 in 10 co-founders are like that. They bring negotiation and networking to the table and demand compensation that no hardworking and honest co-founder would ever ask. I think Sturgeons law applies to co-founders, and if you haven't spoken to at least 20, you are likely talking to the crap ones. Not all crap ones demand excessive compensation, there are other types of crap. But there is a huge difference between the ones that will be good for business and the others.
