Anyone with experience really using the LeanCanvas frameworks for their startup? Any good or too simplistic to be helpful? Thanks.

The lean canvas is step one and a thought exercise. Ideally after you spend some time with the lean canvas you can put together a more thorough business plan in a word doc with the work you did on the lean canvas as your guide. And then build a pitch deck out in parallel.

My wife wants to found a SaaS startup. She would work on product, and would need a technical co-founder to build it. I would support on the market and commercial side on a PT basis. Should I take a (small) equity position to give us a combined majority stake so that we can keep the dream alive if the third founder pulls out? Or would this be discouraging to the third founder and/or potential investors? I’m thinking 45:10:45… could I go higher?
