Ask HN: Co-Founder pivoting, what are my options?

Ask him to license the code for your new, related venture. Offer to pay him a percentage of revenue for that license. The risk here is the code isn't that great, so you're licensing something you're going to have to replace anyway.

Yeah I think you nailed it with "licensing something you're going to have to replace anyway." It doesn't make sense to fight/pay for something that may not have any value.

Yeah, probably not worth wasting your time. Most code, outside of larger orgs with tons of documentation and structure, is worthless without the people who can operate and understand it.
