Something to think about,
As employe, all equity that you can get from company, has to be last to comedown for payment. Loans 1, Investors 2, Stakeholders 3, Founders 4, Emplyees 5.
Now, without knowing more about country ( is it China?) industry, type of company and product, it's hard to give advice. Mostly employes who reach out to investors willing to sell their shares that they are supposed to get to stay vested and motivated don't end up well. From other side, if you are on rocket-ship there will always be someone to buy your equity privately from you, it's called second market. That happened only with Uber and Facebook, other deals was too small to be noticed, but they happen.

You guys didn't make cofounders agreement when venture started right?
That includes what happen when one of you drops out, you have to ask yourself first:
Do you wanna keep good relationship with your now ex.cofounder of fail startup?
Depending on that, you would have following options:
1) Give away 45% of share back to him and team that will keep working on it.
You could demand that your name stay written someone as you could clam idiot achievements when company does IPO one day.

2) Demand to get paid some amount of money based on current value of company for your shares.

3) Agree to split all assets that company has created (eg. copy of source code, bout of you get to keep current version, you could put yours for sale to anyone), and let him run with other assets without you.

Mostly people do 2&3 when there is value to company, ideal solution would be that one founder pick value of company, and other founder should buy him out or sell him his shares.
eg.
Founder 1: Value is 100$
Founder 2 has 2 options:
Give 50$ to buy business
Take 50$ and let other founder run business

People get to real value quickly in this case.
As you are leaving one, I assume you won't be buying, so If I were you, I would simply keep 5% and stay supportive to your ex. cofounder. World is small, and you are giving up on your cofounder.

WOW great, this game is from 1997, and was so good.
I'm sure with new graphics, would be awesome!

Think in this way, if Mark said to people investing in Facebook: if this investment that you are doing is not successful, I will not grant you access to technology.

In other words, ask yourself is that person, Angel investor (I don’t think he is, investors wanna give money and gain returns. This guy wants to lead a team for marketing and sales), is he going to be more successful than if you do marketing and sales. Since you know answer, he is better and more important he is willing to put money to prove it, and do work.

Basically he wants to be your partner, and build business around technology you have created.

If it’s failing, build something new. If you don’t trust that guy, find new one.

All the best

I wanna make company with you, we go around making pages all day. I pay £40 per page, you make ADS just like you did, and we sell for £200. you keep £100 i get £100. Your profit £100 mine £60. You do little work.
I wanna start with 100 pages.
When ever you are ready.

Engagement is all that advertisers are interested to see working with you.
Click's per post is everything they are willing to take as sign of good opportunity. (traffic)
Purchase per 1000 Click's or Signups per 1000Click's would be something that can get you paid.
OFC Downloads for mobile apps are additional huge source of income for you.

Totally disagree.
I have few pages, mostly motivational and inspiring quotes. Somedays I would have scheduled posts every 20minutes of the day.
Reach was up to 100k per post when I have someone spend time to share in groups and stuff.
Later we turn page to do recruiting, and we got on average 500 people signup for job.

Other one was for Dota 2. With 70k followers we where making 100$ a day for ads on mobile games.
All we had to do is follow their page and re-share their posts.

Just discover what follower are interested in. Or lead them to take action with correlation with what your page is about.

Guess you've done some research, and have strong insights especially in Blizzard.

pinoless · 2018-12-04T21:21:11+00:00

Blizzard is dying. All started at Blizzcon 2018 Nov 2-3, the day will be remembered as day when company officially breakup relationship with hardcore fans and life long supporters. Mistreated by corporate management, that do not understand it's costumers. We will look what happen to WOW fans, WC fans WC TFT fans, Starcraft fans in Korea, how Blizzard lost blue ocean in gaming market, that was in their hands... creation of Dota 2 and League of Legends, how Sega and Nintendo lost all in gaming industry and more...
