If he's close to launching, he should just launch. If it clicks with even a few people, that'll be the source of motivation.

Though he should probably get rid of the non-committed cofounder (hoping the equity is properly vested): great cofounder > solo founder > bad cofounder.

The founder also mentions there is no money for further development. So great co-founder or not, this is a catch-22 situation.

I'm assuming more money would be needed only for further development, but the product can launch now (or days from now). If some features are not ready for prime-time, turn them off and launch with what works well.
