Why not? I've had serious offers to co-found companies from random seatmates on bus rides between Silicon Valley and Los Angeles.
Frankly, the biggest obstacle I've had is not in finding team-players (with all due respect to everyone reading this, team-players are a dime a dozen; how could any company function if the majority of people in our society weren't team players?).
For me the biggest obstacle (by far), has been, finding people with drive. I mean, think about all the people who struggle to do remote work, how are they going to find the drive to produce when they don't even have a boss anymore?
- ozim 4y agoGood luck going into business with seatmates on bus rides. If you co-own company and other owner goes into full "steal as much shit as possible" mode and you are left with downfall as a co-owner. You can get into serious trouble and end up dragged through courts for years instead of building your dream company. Then to prevent that - you start doing due diligence on "bus seatmates" - then it turns out, instead of building your dream company you are spending money/time on screening people. In the end "finding people with drive" is also finding people that care about the same stuff as you do.
