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?
