Question
I'm a single solo founder. I've conceived the idea and have already developed the entire product myself, and am ready to launch. This is not an MVP- it's a full-blown product that's complete.
However, I don't have a team. I'm looking at getting another partner to join me in this venture. He'd take on the CTO role; whereas I'd take on CEO / marketing / business development / etc.
His main duties and responsibilities would include:
-Maintain the product and add new features
-Attend networking events with me
-Attend pitch competitions / startup conferences with me
How much equity would it be worth to give him?
P.S. This is a software product; a web application.
Answer
ZERO - there doesn't appear to be any benefit giving away your company.
Let someone BUY in if you really want someone on board.
Ultimately you can hire people extremely good and extremely affordable at what they do.
What you describe as required is an employee
