When co-founders aren't transparent about investor commitments

We've been building this startup for eighteen months and my co-founder handles all the investor conversations while I focus on product, but I'm starting to realize I have no idea what promises he's making or what timeline we're actually committed to. When I ask direct questions he gives me summaries that feel sanitized and I'm worried we're not aligned on something fundamental.

More people experience this than they realize.
