How to Find the Right Cofounder for Your Startup A cofounder isn’t just a partner; they’re someone who will share your highest highs, lowest lows, and sleepless nights. But how do you find ? 1. Define Your Non-Negotiables First Clarify what you need: Values alignment: Do they care about the same “why” as you? (Impact, growth, innovation) Complementary skills: Are they filling gaps in your expertise?(ex technical, sales, ops) Risk tolerance: Are they prepared for the volatility of startup life? 2.Look Beyond Skills—Priorize Chemistry Skills can be learned, but trust and rapport can’t. Red flags to watch: Ego-driven behavior Misaligned incentives: Are they in it for equity, impact, or ego? 3.Test Drive the Relationship Before signing contracts, test working together Build a small project: Design a mock pitch deck, prototype. 4. Align on Equity, Roles, and Vision in advance. Equity split: Use tools like the Founder’s Pie Calculator for equity. Follow for more startup content.
