I suggest you fix the communication issue that has led to you feeling this
way. Ideally when things inevitably come up you can both be open about what's
going on, and concerns either of you have.

Most of the hard work is still ahead of you. Try to keep the equity split
equal unless someone is talking about a drastically reduced role. Openness is
key.

You don't trust your co-founder. Walk away now.

Or I have trust issues and he should walk away. I can't be certain about that
and I don't know him all my life either.

Anyways; we agreed to define some performance indicators, he had some nice
ideas and I feel confident in agreement.

Discuss it with him.

But also keep in mind that as the business/marketing guy, a lot of the work he
puts in is not really visible, especially early on. Running social media
channels, blogging (content marketing), networking, PR, etc, requires a lot of
time and dedication to do it right.

I spend 20 hours a week on things like this, and more often than not, I feel
like I'm wasting my time because results don't really happen overnight. Wins
(no matter how big or small) don't come easy, and it just adds to the
frustration.

I obviously can't speak for him though because I'm not really sure what he
actually does.
