I would imagine such a situation to be dicey. Startups are forged around shared passion, trust, and ability to work well together, not too different from marriage. Using the marriage metaphor, I think going into business together on a first impression puts you and your cofounders in a tight spot.
- RyanGWU82 20y agoIt's not automatically dicey. My cofounders and I found each other specifically for the purpose of starting this business. We're four months into our venture now. We get along extremely well, our skills complement each other nicely, and we have a lot of faith in each other and in our business. I can't imagine having a working dynamic as strong as this one even with my close long-term friends.
- JMiao 20y agoI see what you're saying, but, to a certain extent, you won't be able to test what your team is truly made of until you guys hit that first bump -- this is when things become clearer, and I would imagine you wouldn't want to wake up one morning wondering how you got in that bed in the first place. Nonetheless, I'm happy to hear that you were able to find good cofounders!
