As long as you have it legally recognized, there’s absolutely no reason why you should let go of your share.

If your co-founder can’t understand this, then maybe it wasn’t meant to be in the first place.

I think the same. I would never walk away with nothing. Your co-founder has to find a way to convince you, whatever that is (buying your shares at a reasonable price, or giving you some other reason that makes you happy).

Yeah, that's also one of the reasons for walking away, better to get it over with now
