I started an online business a few weeks ago. The long-term vision of the business is to have it become some sort of a social platform. For now, however, we just want to create a website.

An acquaintance/friend of mine has agreed to create the initial website for us for free.

My cofounder thinks we should make him sign a non disclosure agreement, with a waiver of moral rights and potentially a non compete. Is all of this necessary?

My cofounder is worried that if we become big one day, the friend who is building the website can claim some sort of ownership over it since he created the first code/ initial website.
