𝗦𝗮𝗺 𝗔𝗹𝘁𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝘄𝗼 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗹𝗶𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗞𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗽𝘀 Sam Altman has seen thousands of startups. And he’s noticed a pattern: 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐩𝐬 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐟𝐚𝐢𝐥 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐛𝐚𝐝 𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐬—𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐟𝐚𝐢𝐥 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐛𝐚𝐝 𝐜𝐨-𝐟𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐝𝐲𝐧𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐜𝐬. There are two types of conflicts that tear teams apart: 1- 𝗗𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗩𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 – When founders disagree on where the company is headed, it’s like trying to drive a car in two directions. One wants a billion-dollar empire, the other wants a small, sustainable business. Misalignment leads to friction, frustration, and eventually, failure. 2- 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗥𝗼𝗹𝗲 – This is even worse. When both founders want to be CEO, make key decisions, and be the face of the company, it turns into an ego war. Power struggles create toxic environments, and startups don’t survive toxicity. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗙𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗘𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗢𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 Altman points to 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐯𝐞 𝐉𝐨𝐛𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐯𝐞 𝐖𝐨𝐳𝐧𝐢𝐚𝐤 as the perfect example. Jobs was the visionary and storyteller. Wozniak was the technical genius who loved building. They had the same mission but played different 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐲 𝐢𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐝. If you’re choosing a co-founder, 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐩𝐢𝐜𝐤 𝐚 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐚 𝐨𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟. 𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐟𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐠𝐚𝐩𝐬. One driver, one navigator. That’s how you go the distance. Follow Vishu Bheda for more valuable startup insights from the world's best founders!
