Lesson 1: Why have a cofounder?
Starting a business all by yourself is a huge challenge. We know successful startups tend to have great cofounders. But why bring on a cofounder in the first place? The main reasons for having a cofounder as follows:
It’s filling a skills gap
It’s moral support – you have someone to talk on the other side of the table
Bounce ideas off – this is great for brainstorming and testing new ideas
Startup is more attractive for investment – it’s all about the team
If you are a non-technical cofounder think about matching up with a potential technical cofounder. If you’re a technical founder, think about matching up with a non-technical co-founder. Someone who can manage the marketing and business side. The key to having a successful co-founder is complementary skill sets. Bringing on a co-founder with the same skill sets will result in skill duplication.
