Title: I am a solo founder looking to bring on a co-founder. My original idea came to me over a year ago and I&#x27;ve worked on it evening and weekends. Four months ago, I left my job to work on my startup full-time.<p>I&#x27;m in my early 30&#x27;s and my background is in investments and software. After college, I was a software engineer for two years before moving into asset management in a front office role. My product is built on the domain knowledge I gain in this area. It&#x27;s B2B SaaS with target ~$15k-$100k p.a. revenue per customer. I&#x27;ve finished my MVP and am about to go full tilt into sales mode.<p>I would love to bring on someone to do sales. I&#x27;m in early stage discussions with a potential co-founder who is a friend and someone 
 I have worked with. He&#x27;s in his late 20&#x27;s and recently completed an MBA at a top school. His background is in business strategy and analytics (sales focused). He hesitates when it comes to sales because he does not see himself as a sales person. Having said that I think he could do it and his role would evolve over time away from direct sales into more of a management role.<p>I feel like he would be a good fit because we get on well, he&#x27;s smart and has decent experience. He is interested in startups and told me he wants to jump in with both feet. He doesn&#x27;t want to make a rash decision so is holding back a bit.<p>His initial thoughts are he would work one day a week + weekends (his work situation is flexible) and eventually go full-time. I would love to have him full-time. He has a one month notice period on his contract.<p>Equity vesting would start once he is full-time over a 4 year period.<p>If he starts full-time in one-month, how much equity could I give him?<p>If he continues to keep his full-time job and goes full-time with me in X months, how could I think about the equity split?
