I’m not an expert in the tax world so do your own research on this - but I have been selling cars for 10~ year now. A lot of business owners will lean more towards leasing, as they can write off the entirety of the monthly payment every month.

In my head - I think you’re better offering 10% and letting them step into an advisory role - however still requiring them to particpate fully in the presentation (if you don’t gain the funds from the incubator he isn’t getting shxt, so it would be in his best interest to help secure the funds).
Once that’s out of the way, let him step back into an advisor role - and either hire out help with the negotiations/logistics, or spend some extensive time learning that part yourself (courses, certs, online learning, etc).
May cost you a bit more in the start - but once you transition over to the tech-oriented phase and can phase out the additional help or have learned enough to handle it yourself you’ll definitely reap the reward from 90% equity split.
I just received my business cards last week. Handed one to my server at dinner and asked her to pass it along to the owner next time she saw them.
Received a lead from the owner today. 😊 1/1 so far! Ordered a really nice quality card from Moo . Com
