Yes. If you can&#x27;t trust your team not to abuse the vesting cliff, you can&#x27;t trust them to be cofounders.<p>It is hard to imagine a scenario with a normal (&lt;=4) number of cofounders where it is reasonable to let someone who spends less than a year on the project to walk away with as much as 6% of the company. Having just wrapped up a 10 year company, it is honestly hard to imagine it being fair for that person to walk away with 1%.
