When business guys start saying "you can be replaced" or that they'll "start a
competing company" the correct answer is /always/ "Fantastic! Please do,
you'll make me look good.".

This guy was a clown playing for status. Where there's money there is always
people playing like this. Focus on delivering value to the customers at a fair
price and nothing else.

Also, if people are saying "You can be replaced" it means you can't be
replaced and you're doing something right.

Maybe I missed this, but did you get a founders agreement put together? It's
not a fun conversation, but it's worth nailing down at the very beginning.

I agree though, should be nailed down immediately. Plus, I don't think it's
ever a good situation when equity is given equally. Just asking for trouble.
