But Jim only owns 60% of the app. OP owns the rest. It doesn't matter if Jim put in $10m if the agreement is that they own the app 60/40. Anyway, to echo other people: This is why you use clear contracts and try to deviate from th

Stupid question, but if you straight-up own 40% with none of the usual options/vesting stuff, then can’t you just tell Jim to go stuff it until he comes up with an offer to buy that 40% back that sounds reasonable to you? You came toge
