Thanks guys, I didn't want to pay up front and become a sucker. This just makes me a little more careful with who we are, its hard to trust some random person with this much cash up front with no work done. But you guys raise good points.

I think this misses the true hardship of non-technical founders. I'm a programmer working with a non-technical cofounder and it isn't me vs her, I don't think I'm putting in more than her because she does the pitches, meetings, e-mails, f
