FWIW, it's the biz-dev cofounder that is asking for 50/50. Joe thinks he should get more than 50.

Also, Joe has been full time on the startup and the biz dev guy is only part time on it.

Ask HN: Co-founder equity question: Always even split?

from the ask-hn dept.

Assume "Joe" founds a startup, works on it for several months, writes the code, and gets the website up and running.Then, Joe finds a biz-dev cofounder. They are deciding the equity split.Should Joe and the cofounder split the company evenly, or does the fact that Joe founded it and worked on it for several months mean that Joe gets more?What's the etiquette/precedent for this?

from the ask-hn dept.

If person A founds a company, and several months later person B joins as a co-founder, what is the proper title etiquette for person A?Is person A now a co-founder, or does person A still retain the title of founder, while person B has the title of co-founder?
