For some funny reason this list is kinda secondary to me. Of course, it's critical that my co-founder is talented and brilliant. I wouldn't be approaching her/him if they weren't, but isn't trust far more important?
I've been led to believe that personality, drive and determination are far more accurate metrics of measuring whether you should work with someone or not. Is that wrong?
- michael_dorfman 16y ago"Trust" is key. I speak from (painful, expensive) experience.
- will_critchlow 16y agoI only have the good kind of experience here. My co-founder is also my oldest friend. I wouldn't recommend this to everyone, but my experience does mean that I would never co-found with someone I didn't know very well and trust completely outside of the venture. I would personally say that you are thinking about the problem the right way, but you do need the filtering step as well. Trust isn't (even nearly) enough if someone isn't smart or can't get stuff done.
