though a good co-founder seems almost impossible to "go out and find" in any kind of deliberate way

Actions: - be open to partnership (no more "lone wolf" syndrome) - put yourself in places where you can meet a diverse group of people - invest in long term relationships - understand yourself (strengths / weaknesses) - keep your eyes open for potential good fit

yea, totally, I think the approach is a decade-scale openness to collaboration, experiments, and partnerships as a Step 1. "oh crap i need a co-founder in the next 2 months" seems like 100% failure rate.

100%. I almost partnered several times, would consider again, but the "finding" is the blocker. It's incredibly hard to find full alignment. Skills balance, philisophy, chemistry is actually the easy part. Alignment in "career situation at this moment" is the toughest.

Regularly putting the intention out is a good first step though: "If you're open to it, I'd love to partner with you on this. I think I could really bring a lot to the table." Or: "Are you interested in partnering with me on this? You'd bring a lot to the table."

It's one of those "much easier tweeted than done" things. There's a lot of luck involved in forming great partnerships. Can you improve your luck odds with a great network, openness, etc.? Of course you can. But setting a goal of "find great partner by Q2" isn't realistic.

No, definitely not “find by Q2.” Way more organic than that. (But, the more of this intention & practice you put out into the world, the more likely it is to happen when you need it)

yea, i think my contrarian(
?) take is that it's also important for many entrepreneurs to not let finding a good co-founder (or not already having one) be a blocker to getting started.
Be open, seek great partners, but have a solopreneur plan too.4 odpowiedzi 0 podanych dalej 6 polubionych
Yup, I’m on board with that.

something I've learned is that the universe of amazing people who can't currently take founder risk / no salary is MUCH bigger than amazing people who can. Build solo to the point where you can hire awesome people is like 97% as good as having them from day one.

(which is not exclusive with what you're saying... great partner doesn't ~have~ to start as a co-founder but can eventually become a co-owner)
