Re:Ask HN: How do I reach a fair agreement with my co-founder? on Sunday December 04, 2011 @06:04PM (#3312193)
Check out the 'founder's pie' calculator (google it) not a perfect tool, but a great place to start in weighing the stuff that needs to be/has been done plus a way to view, categorically, what each person brings to the table - and if you haven't already locked in ownership equity you may want to consider a performance based profit equity that leads to the promise of ownership once he's willing to commit full time to the project. Good luck!

completely understand! If PR bloggers aren't your market it won't be an issue and it really is a very cool idea. Right now I think Rafflecopter has the market share for them - can be used direct in blog for giveaway. Personally, I'd prefer the 'twitteractiveness' you offer in your app as I spend far more time there...

edited to add: check out your spelling on homepage "If our example conest runs for 10 days: $19.99 + $9.90 = $29.89." nitpicky yes - but important! Also, in creating the comp. can you add a field to list the prize? So people know what they're winning?

Invaluable asset - incredible generosity. I'll be flowing the tweets for you and looking to grab a piece or two of savvy brains for our own piece of mind. THANK YOU!

Like the app concept - think it's too dear for the average PR blogger to get behind and use. But very cool idea!
