I think the theoretically optimal way to distribute credit would be to compute Shapley values for each contributor (including the the founder) and distribute the funding accordingly. But this is of course usually not possible (because of limited information).
Whether you use Shapley values seems orthogonal to the question I’m asking—whether to price the shares non-uniformly, in order to estimate relative contributions.
