Start with alignment and worry about compensation afterwards.

You don't ask for co-founder equity without a strongly shared vision. However, if they are not that interested in your product or technology, are you guys even on the same page?

I probably explained that poorly. What I meant was that our products are so similar, and vision so aligned, that we have already independently developed many of the same technologies.
