How can you amicably dissolve a startup partnership with your co-founder?
Hopefully, before you went into business together, each cofounder agreed to have their shares vest — usually over a 4 year period with an acceleration clause for certain events. So in the event that one founder decides to leave, they don’t take 1/2 the founder equity with them. Founder vesting is critical and I don’t advise going into to business with anyone and spitting equity without each cofounder vesting in their shares.
