If you are putting in the money, put it into the company as a loan. I'm sure this isn't the only capital this company will need so it makes it silly to split equity based on short term thinking.<p>I think also everyone will have to think as this is their idea too. If you had the initial idea, the inital idea will change.<p>Don't get trapped by short term thinking. Split the company three ways, get vesting and a 1-year cliff and then get on with it. Only then will your equity actually be worth something worth worrying about.<p>Good luck.
