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 one, and it changes everything. But if you end up with a mediocre or unfit co-founder, they will set your startup on that same trajectory. Ideally, a co-founder should be highly skilled or have the potential to become world-class in their field. But even if they aren’t there yet, what truly matters is their ability to show up every day, work relentlessly, think practically, and adapt quickly. And one hard truth: Remote co-founders are a nightmare unless both are perfectly aligned in work ethic and communication. It's 10x harder than a long-distance relationship.
