“You cannot find a co-founder. Your co-founder must find you.”

It’s Damn Hard “Looking” For a Co-Founder

■ Where’s their source of passion?

■ Will they be committed?

■ Is there independent financial stability?

■ Is my baby ugly?

It’s Never As Good (Hard) As The First Time

Step 1: Conduct a self-assessment

■ What do I enjoy doing?

■ What am I great at doing?

■ What is consuming most of my time?

■ WHY am I doing what I’m doing?
