One of the very important features in co-founders is knowledge of work-ethic and trust in each other. That's why it's often recommended that you co-found with people already in your circles. There are just so many additional unknowns when you're dealing with potential co-founders that you have no history with.
- jxm262 11y agoyeah , I completely agree. However, I feel there has to be a way to do this outside of the standard school/day-job. Reason I'm saying this is because I've worked in numerous open source projects and have met many friends that I would love to work with. The world is just too big to limit myself to a small circle of people. Also, take for example folks who live outside of major tech areas (an basically all rural locations). Where can they go to find good people to even begin building these relationships? I don't have the exact answers on how to build this "trust" system into a platform (still researching). However I think it's definitely possible.
- OJFord 11y agoBut you can count those people among your 'personal network'; that sounds like an ideal choice for undertaking what is essentially a 'large project' with someone - by having already done a smaller one with them.
