2/ if you don’t already have a cofounder in your network, how do you “date”? Build top of funnel by: - Telling the world what you’re thinking (e.g. writing a post, hosting a meetup, etc) - Join On Deck (http://www.beondeck.co ) - Build an audience:https://medium.com/@rrhoover/building-a-startup-build-an-audience-first-9fbba4f1fa15 …

3/ What to look for in a co-founder? - Complimentary skills (how do you, together, have an unfair advantage?) - Value-mission alignment (what success looks like, etc) - Company alignment (who makes decisions, what tradeoffs you will/won’t accept)

4/ You’ve found the person, but you don’t want to shot-gun--then what? - Meet the spouse and/or parents if you can (seriously!) - Go on a road trip or experience - Do a hackathon (or work together in trying conditions)

5/ Non-obvious Q’s to ask: In what ways are you crazy? What are your failure modes? What was it like working with ex co-founders? You can tell something about someone if they dismiss & discard an old co-founder who they spent years of their life w/: they might do that to you.

@sbyrnes used a vetting process to decide his@outlierai cofounder because they never worked together before -
It was a very important step, too. I'd known
@mfk for a long time at that point but we'd never worked together before. Simulating the stress and extremes of founding was important to know if we'd be compatible under pressure. It's worked out great!

The founders of Kayak met over lunch with a VC. Didn't know each other before

I intro'd a successful serial founder to a newly exited founder as a philanthropic mentor once. They co-founded a company a few months later. Prob the first time I realized I could do a lot more than just raise $ for the university...
