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 partnerโ€”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 arenโ€™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.
