Should I quit the startup?

I don’t think my co-founder has what it takes to start a company, sometimes i feel like i am filling in for him, he is too much dependent on me for all the stuff. Though the idea was his, I joined him just to have experience and see where things go, but as the time passing I want to see the result of what we are creating.

PS- He is very passionate about the idea.

He sounds like a leacher to me. (no offense)

Some people are like that.

If he really wants this to succeed, then he needs to at least shoulder 50% of the burden.

Aka, instead of you doing all the programming, teach him a little, so he can do some of it as well.

If he doesn't want to do this, for what-ever excuse he comes up with, then you are dealing with a leacher indeed. Time to find out.

Hope this help.

Then take the lead for your startup. The Idea (which came from him) is only one of thousand steps we will take, it doesn't mean he should own the company.
