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 matchโ€”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 isnโ€™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. Itโ€™s tough, but itโ€™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?
