More scenarios in this quest
You and your co-founder haven't agreed on anything important in weeks. The tension sits in every Slack message, every meeting, every decision that doesn't get made. Someone has to name it.
You both say you want the company to succeed. You mean completely different things by that. The vision that brought you together is now the thing pulling you apart.
Six months in and nobody has talked about equity. One founder is full-time, one is part-time, one brought the idea. The longer you wait, the uglier this gets.
