The Co-Founder Trap: Why Friendships Don't Guarantee a Good Business Partnership You and your best friend dream of startup gloryโ€”late-night ideas, shared laughs, unstoppable vibes. But hereโ€™s the trap: friendship doesnโ€™t mean a solid co-founder fit. One startup I saw crashed when buddies couldnโ€™t agree on cash flowโ€”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 itโ€™s awkward, rethink it. Pick a partner for the grind, not the good timesโ€”your startupโ€™s survival depends on it.
