A long courtship period allows couples to deepen their connection and understand each other better, seeing each other in various circumstances, which leads to more informed relationship choices.

When dating, it's beneficial to reflect on how a partner makes you feel, as this can provide insight into the relationship's potential.

It's crucial to try to work on your startup independently if you don't have a co-founder with whom you have a strong relationship. Testing the partnership for a month without commitment can help assess compatibility.

The initial spark in a relationship doesn't always indicate compatibility; it's important to assess the relationship over time rather than relying solely on first impressions. If you go on a date and feel like it was a nice conversation, consider spending another hour with that person instead of rushing to find someone else, as we often overlook the potential of a second date because we think there are so many other options available.

It's important to have an honest conversation about whether you both enjoy working together after your trial period.

Investing six to twelve months after initial contact can lead to better valuations and more information about the startup.

During beta testing, we found that couples were the most engaged users, which led us to concentrate on their specific needs.

The feelings we experience with certain people are the best guide to how well they suit us as partners, but we often miss key signals by not paying attention to how we feel.
