Coming from the non-technical perspective, I see little value that a non-techie can offer to a company for <=97% of the shares. Someone making you this kind of proposal surely does not understand how a web startup works because the value is in the development team and their resulting product.

In every endeavor I (try) to embark on, I always offer 50-60% of equity to the technical person, to show that im not a control freak and value their expertise.
