This situation is a bit confusing. From your summary, it sounds like you have an idea and product you are building and you need some help with sales. It sounds like you only have a prototype at this stage. It feels very early to me to join an existing company with a prototype just for their sales consulting. Is there a reason that you won't hire this company as a freelancer first and then maybe consider a partnership if it works out?

What does this other company do? Is it just sales consulting? Or do they have a product?

Thanks for your response! The other company is just about strategy and sales consulting. They would also help to fill and maintain content but they don't sell any products or have own products. The reason why they want me to be part of the company is that they are very excited about the idea/prototype and they also bring in own ideas. So I see value in it to be honest. They could already start to market the product before it's 100% ready.

However, I don't want to transfer my work to someone else before I have seen any outcomes so that's my dilemma.

Ah OK, if you don't want to transfer your work before you see outcomes, I think it makes sense to hold off on starting a new company with them, especially since they are a consulting company (which is a totally different business). I would probably engage them as contractors initially -- if the relationship is going well, then perhaps you can create a new company. I'm having trouble understanding why you would roll your product into an existing consulting company.
