If you are considering a new role with your partner with a new contract then that is a great chance to renegotiate so you see the upside of a sale.
Going a bit beyond the OP - A difficult lesson for many engineers is that it doesn't matter what standard engineering salaries are. You could be the best engineer in the world but if you work for a low-revenue, non-tech company, then you aren't going to be compensated the same as you would at a tech company where revenue per employee is $2.2M (Netflix) or $2M (Apple) and engineers directly contribute to that revenue.
