When business partners avoid difficult equity conversations

My co-founder and I have been avoiding the conversation about equity split for eight months and we both know our current handshake agreement isn't sustainable but every time we start to discuss it one of us changes the subject or finds a reason to postpone. We're about to bring on investors and this is going to explode if we don't deal with it but neither of us wants to be the one who seems greedy or ungrateful.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people are paralyzed by the fear that addressing necessary but uncomfortable topics will damage their relationship or reveal irreconcilable differences.
