Finding a co-founder for a startup can be a tricky proposition. Unless you have a lot of capital to hire help early on, you’ll probably want to find someone to work alongside you from the beginning.
Your co-founder will need to share your vision and passion for your idea. If they don’t share the dream, they’ll lose focus and interest when things get tight.
They’ll need to have skills and a personality that compliments yours. There will be plenty of disagreements and hardship in the early days of a startup and adding to it with personality conflicts is just asking for failure.
