How can you amicably dissolve a startup partnership with your co-founder?
Hopefully, before you went into business together, each cofounder agreed to have their shares vest — usually over a 4 year period with an acceleration clause for certain events. So in the event that one founder decides to leave, they don’t take 1/2 the founder equity with them. Founder vesting is critical and I don’t advise going into to business with anyone and spitting equity without each cofounder vesting in their shares.

I lead the development and spin-out of Purpose for Profit, a Decentralized Finance “(DeFi) for Good” moonshot aimed at increasing the supply of affordable housing via the creation of a blockchain powered tokenized endowment fund.
Purpose for Profit is a 501c3 foundation and DAO that manages a treasury of capital contributions to provide low interest loans to affordable housing developers creating ‘prosper in place’ communities.
