Ask HN: How to handle one cofounder not being committed? | Hacker News

> Are there any options I’m missing in this situation where an essential cofounder isn’t putting in enough effort? one way I have seen this play out often is to get rid of them, then dilute the shares of the original investment. ethical or fair? depends on the situation but nothing is as expensive as keeping a non performing asset on your team when starting out. not solving the situation can be what makes all of you fail collectively later.
