You have a basic foundational difference in your values- if it’s showing up in your very first project, it’s going to be showing up through the entire lifecycle of the organization. This is a GOOD thing, as learning this now will save you a bloody battle down the road.
Either get out now, and find a way to amicably split your assets, or, if you think I’m overreacting, simply get, in writing, an ironclad agreement that determines what happens if one of you wants to exit. This is standard advice any way for cofounders, and I guarantee you’ll thank me later.

If you are in a 2:1 minority and your most important aims & goals are not being considered at this early stage, it’s not likely to get better without detailed consideration of potential future outcomes. I am being this negative because it sounds like you’ve already had some frank discussions about your differences of opinion, and you are having to go along with something you completely disagree with.
