Most important: Come up with a spoils-sharing agreement well in advance of the moment when there are any spoils to share. Everyone involved in the development *has* to have a written contract. It doesn't have to be a multi-page document that's been reviewed by a lawyer (although that might help), but it does have to explicitly state who gets what under which conditions. If you don't have contracts before there's money to split, you may find it hard to get agreement once there is, and if you don't have clear ownership agreements in writing it will definitely impact on your ability to interest an established company in your product.
