How to Find the Right Cofounder A cofounder isn’t just a partner; they’re someone who will share your highest highs, lowest lows, and sleepless nights. 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) 2.Look Beyond Skills—Priorize Chemistry Skills can be learned, but trust and rapport can’t. 3.Test Drive the Relationship Before signing contracts Build a small project: Design a mock pitch deck, prototype.
