Like other posters I'd advice to say 'no'. I'm on the other end of the scale as I took such project knowing I'll have not enough time to work on it and now I regret making this decision. It's more difficult to drop it now that it's 'almost finished', and more importantly because of people I built it for. Sure, I got a % of venture, but any % of 0 is still 0.. I'd prefer to have clean mind over weekend and spend time with kids than worrying about stuff that needs to be done.

Is there a reason you haven’t looked for other people to help out? Is it because you are being given equity rather than cash?
I was the only one who was naive enough to take the project, I wanted to share it but everyone was like "pay me, I won't work for free". Back then I thought I'll just do it myself, that was a mistake- I should be in the "pay me" crowd :)
