30/50% to the founders? 
that is going to put investors off straight away.
the lower your rake, the more investors will trust you as they'll see its not a smash-and-grab.
try 10%? you'll still be loaded if it's a success.

10% can do the trick, but it still depends of what their project is. If they are offering the next revolution, and that their product is already working, they can easily go with 10%, but if that is not the case, as you pointed it out, the lower the better.
