I've come to a realization lately. Trying to start a business with a friend or someone else is a dumb a$$ idea. NOBODY will commit to your idea in the seed stage as much as you will. People wait to jump on board once you have taken the risk and had the vision to make things happen. And you should be rewarded for that.
People will doubt you up until the second you generate buzz or profit, and at that point.. f&*$ them! There are so many people who are pathetically lethargic... I mean aggressive in the manner in which they spread mediocrity and hinder your progress.
The point is, don't wait for someone to hop on board with your idea to get started. Just do it, go out and pitch investors & lay the groundwork. And when your "friends" try to get on the train, hire them as an employee with .01% Equity vested after 3 years.
