Whole point is that you involve skilled individuals and (perhaps) long term mentors who will increase the likelihood that you become investable. Their "share" in the business is a positive vote of confidence in the idea and the founding team.

Worrying about things that just might become an issue if by some magic you make it to the stage where you have a validated idea and a pitch that VCs might go for - well OK I admire your ambition (if you are actually in the process) but most people would probably recognise they are not superman and value the input of an external group highly qualified and rooting for them. Gotta help when raising angel investment (which is what us ordinary mortals are working on).

Putting contractors on your cap table is not going to make you more investable.
