Ben Horowitz shares 4 principles for choosing a cofounder Picking the right cofounder is one of the most important decisions when starting a business. Here are four easy tips to guide you: 1. Donโ€™t Choose Out of Fear: Starting a startup can feel stressful, but donโ€™t rush into choosing a cofounder just because youโ€™re anxious. Take your time to make the right decision. 2. Friendship Isnโ€™t Enough: Being friends isnโ€™t a strong enough reason to go into business together. As John D. Rockefeller said, โ€œA friendship founded on business is better than a business founded on friendship.โ€ 3. Work With Someone You Know and Respect: Choose someone youโ€™ve known for a while, respect deeply, and can trust for the long term. Strong partnerships, like The Beatles, last because of mutual respect and teamwork. 4. Set Clear Roles and Fair Splits: Decide who will be the CEO early on and split equity fairly. A clear leader avoids confusion and ensures smooth decision-making. Choose your cofounder wiselyโ€”your startupโ€™s success depends on it!
