It sounds like Alice isn't ready to join until Bob reduces risks. Fine. Then they shouldn't agree on a percentage now, they should negotiate AFTER those risks have been reduced. Else you're talking theory in lala land. Alice should walk away, saying "call me when". Bob should reduce risk while continuing to look for cofounders.
In any case, this doesn't sound like cofounding, this sounds like first employee.
- curioustechie 17y agoThanks for pointing out this option, it's one I hadn't fully thought through. Could you explain what about the scenario makes you say that Alice sounds like a first employee rather than a co-founder?
- neilmix 17y agoBecause (apparently) there's no option for Alice to join and remove the risks herself. Bob is the sole executive.
