> - Say one partner has some assets that they developed, by themselves, that can help the startup - but is hesitant to include it (out of concern that the other partner will be gaining financially from this asset without much contribution). Is that a deal breaker? I dealt with this (my partner was the one who had developed the assets). For the most part, it's something that can be worked around. We both costed out the library, had our friends look at it and tell us what they thought it was worth, and then we rolled that into my partner's equity share based on a 200k valuation. It wound up being a ~6% difference between our equity shares.
