Ask HN: How can I prevent getting 'ousted' from the company that I co-founded?
I am the technical co-founder in a New York based company. ‘Company’ is just a way to say it, we are just two guys with a good idea and an already finished MVP that I built myself in a four months period. The idea guy is not technical at all, he knows his away around in all business related matters, and coming from an ivy-league school, he has a lot of connections. Four months ago he approached me with the idea, which I liked, and I started working on it. I like to do stuff, and I started working on it as a side project. I have a very well compensated job in a local startup and I would like continue to do that in the short/medium term. As I said, we have a really good idea and a working product. Is not crazy to say that my co-founder could raise a couple hundred thousand dollars from investors in our current state. My concern is that so far everything, my equity, and possible future
