I'd like to chat, hang out, and work with potential cofounders for four days to a week. That should give us enough time to see if we gel.
That's a less than ideal, but a fairly decent way of recruiting co-founders.
Good luck, Gabor!
- gaborcselle 18y agoThanks, prakash! In a couple of week, you can usually pretty easily tell if there's a fit, and if the person has technical ability, but I have no illusions of being able to predict the future based on just that. :-)
- jamiequint 18y agoThis is exactly what I did when I met my co-founders. I actually flew out to London (from Portland) to work with them for a week. We worked on some random projects and did one all nighter. I think its a great way of quickly testing whether someone is a fit or not. Actually, some of my friends do this at their company for potential employees as well. After deciding they probably want to hire a candidate, they fly them out (if they are not local), pay them consulting fees to work for a week, and if it works out then they hire them.
