It goes without saying that co-founders should share the same passion and vision for the startup. Most founders want to change the world, but they'd better agree on what they want the world to look like, or else everyone will be miserable. That doesn't mean that you need to agree 100% on everything. The ideal co-founder will agree on most things (80%), but will disagree a bit and bring you a different perspective (20% of the time). Be very suspicious of yes-men: they find everything you say great, and think all your ideas are awesome… In the end, however, they don't have your back. You will make mistakes and when you do, you'll need honest feedback from someone you trust that you are doing the wrong thing. That's the job of your co-founder. You don't want a co-founder who disagrees constantly. That's usually the sign of a misunderstanding about the startup's vision. So watch for the 80/20 rule: agree most but not all of the time. Demand honest and valuable feedback from your co-founder
