The most successful startups in history had co-founding teams, and it's important to have someone who is all in on the startup journey with you.

Finding a co-founder is essential for startup success, as it's incredibly challenging to succeed alone.

Your co-founders should be essential to the founding team, representing the smallest number of people needed to build a minimum viable product (MVP), and be generous with equity to motivate co-founders and ensure essential team members remain engaged.

Exceptional founders often attract other talented individuals, making it easier to find co-founders who share a vision and can contribute significantly to the startup's success.

When evaluating co-founders, it's essential to have a diverse range of strengths, including at least one technical founder and someone dedicated to the business side, like fundraising.

The quality of the founders and early employees at a startup is a critical determinant of its success.

You really want a co-founder when you're starting a company for three main reasons: increased productivity, moral support, and a pattern of success among successful startups.

The first step for a startup is to have an infectious idea and often requires finding a co-founder to share the journey.

Having a co-founder who shares your passion for starting a company is a strong reason to take the leap into entrepreneurship.
