So I&#x27;m writing a lot here because I&#x27;m procrastinating finishing a fake Phrack article I&#x27;m publishing later today to announce the Starfighter CTF, and we should get opinions from other people besides me.<p>But having said that: it&#x27;s probably situational. If all the cofounders have roughly equivalent finances, maybe that&#x27;s OK. But if some of them have, for instance, just sold a company, and the others are doing their first no-salary startup, it doesn&#x27;t seem fair to allow the better-off ones to buy additional influence.<p>I&#x27;m using &quot;fair&quot; here as a shorthand for &quot;things that will damage the incredibly valuable cofounder relationship more than it&#x27;s worth&quot;.
