also, if you're working for no pay, then you need to consider the value of your hours as a cash equivalent investment. if you're bringing $50,000 of services to the table, and not getting paid for it, you're creeping toward a 50/50 split, maybe even a 60/40 split. what is he bringing to the table- the idea? the idea isn't worth much. ideas are free. are you going to work 20 hours a week while he waits for you to work, or are you both working 20 hours a week unpaid?

if he's paying you a salary, it's totally different. but the honest question you both should ask is, without each of you specifically, will this idea sit around for another year as just an idea?
