It’s the same thing as not marrying someone you just met / don’t know well.
Co-founding a startup is in essence like getting married. In fact you’ll spend more time with your co-founder than your spouse / partner plus plenty disagreements as well.
This is not to say co-founding with a “stranger” never works - it’s like getting married at first sight (see Married At First Sight, it’s fascinating show).
It’s simply better if you know the person well before making such commitment.
- muzani 4y agoMy best friend married someone he didn't know. It was a romantic idea - "I don't know who you are or what problems you have but I'll commit unconditionally to you for the rest of my life." He's still happily married, even as they had to face poverty or move about the country. I think if you can bring that attitude into any partnership, you'll be fine. Having too many choices often harms commitment.
