Is choosing your co-founder the most crucial step in building a startup? Starting a startup as students is never easy When you're picking a co-founder, especially a school friend, it can feel like the perfect match—shared history, trust, and mutual excitement for entrepreneurship. But what happens when life gets in the way? From my experience, picking the right co-founder isn’t just about friendship or shared passion. It's about resilience, focus, and the ability to stay aligned even when challenges arise. Unfortunately, I learned the hard way that personal issues, family matters, and changing priorities can break the foundation of what seemed like a solid team. It’s tough, but it’s a lesson worth sharing. What makes a co-founder the right one for you? -Aligned goals and work ethic -Commitment to the startup's vision -Ability to handle setbacks Would you pick a close friend as your co-founder, or would you prioritize professional compatibility over personal history?

Best is to test na before you go all in? so before committing, work on small projects or tasks together. This is like a “trial run” to see how well you collaborate under pressure without risking the entire startup.

Life will throw curveballs, and when it does, professionalism keeps the ship steady. Choose someone who shares your vision and resilience, even if they aren’t your chaddi buddies

Yaar I think shared history can make communication easier, but it doesn’t guarantee alignment in goals or work ethic. A co-founder needs to be someone who complements your strengths and is ready to handle tough decisions and so I think friendship alone can’t ensure that

Co-founders are the foundation of a startup. What no one tells you is that it's often better to have no co-founder than to have one who is slow, unresponsive, or too distracted with personal matters. A co-founder is like a life partner—get the right
