Agree, I am fortunate enough to be a part of the Mastermind group. It's awesome. Especially for those who are not located in startup hotbeds.

Founders Agreement, Operating Agreement, Restricted Equity Agreement (for vesting). You should seek counsel. Remember that technically, each of you should seek your own counsel (and so should the entity).

The conditions of Detroit actually make it one of the most attractive areas for Real Estate investment in the country. High & mid-rise buildings Downtown are being purchased (Dan Gilbert is one such buyer) for 6 figure sums. http://det

You should really think about your pricing. The cost of your app should correlate to the value the user is receiving. It's always easier to lower your price, start high and test. If Large companies can use your app - please do not put a "

I strongly suggest 51/49. Decision making with a 50/50 split is not fun. Lock-up agreements are generally pretty messy. It's pretty clear you have already put in substantial work. I would assume a co-founder would be quite pleased with 4
