"Hey founders, I need advice. I started a startup with my best friend, but I feel like I’m the only one driving it forward. He agrees to things but never takes initiative or asks for updates. I want to build this together, but I don’t want to carry all the weight alone. 💡 Has anyone dealt with this? How do you handle a co-founder who isn’t as driven as you?"

Hey, I've faced a similar issue. Just cut him off if possible or If you want to do it in a way that won't hurt, then set up a mentor and meeting which will contain you 3 ppl. Explain the situation to the mentor who will bring the topic of how much work you have done individually. (It is necessary that you have worked way more than him). Then the mentor will advise an equity split like 5% : 95% or whatever contribution is. Then either he will be motivated to work or leave it.

I think he is not interested in your startup. if you are serious for your startup then you can change the co founder. otherwise it would be dangerous for your business.
