The Co-Founder Trap: Why Friendships Don't Guarantee a Good Business Partnership You and your best friend dream of startup glory—late-night ideas, shared laughs, unstoppable vibes. But here’s the trap: friendship doesn’t mean a solid co-founder fit. One startup I saw crashed when buddies couldn’t agree on cash flow—resentment replaced trust fast. Skills, not sentiment, build businesses. You need someone who complements your weaknesses, not just your hangouts. Test it: split a tough call on day one. If it’s awkward, rethink it. Pick a partner for the grind, not the good times—your startup’s survival depends on it.
