8 is too many. I've heard many say that 5 is too many (co-founders). 4 is still pushing it. Also, in my opinion, anyone who isn't working on it full-time becomes at that point an employee, not a co-founder. I honestly think you should have an upfront conversation ASAP instead of trying to be nice and keep everyone on the team. Also, is every single one of those 8 equally talented? I'm pretty sure there are some people who you already know are better than the rest.
