One could change some of the specifics of the language (less talk about management, change "cofounder" to "spouse"), and this could be information on how to have a successful marriage.
In addition, an important piece of advice on marriage that almost certainly applies to cofounders as well is not to contradict your partner or have disagreements in public.
- mikeg8 12y agoThe default comparison is that cofounders are always "married" but that's only half accurate. It's like being married _and_ raising a child. Most of the conflicts I've seen and experienced with my co-founders are about how we feel to best parent our startup.
- angersock 12y agoWhat's always great fun is when the cofounders are new, and are married!
- yaddayadda 12y agoWhat's even more fun is when they get a divorce and remain cofounders. It gets weird and it gets awkward! Where I'm at, there's clearly a 'his team' and 'her team'.
- angersock 12y agoOy vey. If you're in Texas, shoot me an email--we may be hiring soon.
- yaddayadda 12y agoThank you! Unfortunately, I'm not in Texas and just refinanced my house, so won't be moving anytime soon.
- yuhong 12y agoThis reminds me of the often anonymous eg Ask HNs involving cofounders. I know that often only the cofounder involved can fix the problems with non anonymous ones, but what if the cofounder don't have a problem with them?
