   Thanks for your (and everyone else who has commented here) advise. I think the approach I am going to take is to see if he's willing to sign an agreement to dissolve our partnership, giving me 100% of the company. If he really has just

   Thanks, you and others have said similar things. I think how I should pursue this now is to: 1. Give him a little time to turn things around. Be perfectly clear about the expectations and keep asking him about his progress. 2. If he still d

   Thanks for your reply. No, we do not have a company. We delayed incorporating to avoid expenses before the product was ready. Now that the product is close to being ready I'm fine with incorporating, but don't want to do so if my

    I don't know how much non-technical work remains. If I knew that, then that would mean that I'm in charge of both technical and non-technical work, with him acting as an employee and not a co-founder. That I can't count on hi
