Yeah, this is a great point (and no offense taken—I appreciate the real talk even if it’s a bit painful to hear). I’m taking the other job because the risk is so much lower. And while I do believe that this business could potentially make me more money/be more fulfilling than a day job, there is a huge amount of risk that we’d never make any money and that I’d be forfeiting a guaranteed high salary. We’re still a ways away from making enough revenue to warrant me forfeiting the salary job.

I appreciate your insight. I’ll definitely keep this in mind. Even though I want to get my slice, I also want to be fair to my partner. It might just be that we’re not a good fit for each other right now.

If we can’t come to an agreement and I have to exit, do you have any suggestions about what to do with the app (I currently own the IP for all the code)?
