💡 CO-FOUNDER MATCHING WISDOM
Before you arrive, have a think of the following:
👥 CO-FOUNDERS All-in from day one. Same obsession, same responsibility. Think 10%+ equity.
🤝 BUSINESS PARTNERS Same commitment, joined later. Want significant responsibility. Think 10%+ equity.
💼 C-SUITE Work hard, lead specific areas. Committed but with defined scope.
👨💻 EMPLOYEES Valuable contributors with different risk appetite.

🎯 THE PRINCIPLES
🤝 Trust > Skills Chemistry and values matter more than the perfect CV. Everyone's smart. People learn.
🔥 Motivation Alignment Understand what drives each other. This relationship is like a marriage.
👥 Teamwork First If you can't be a team, better to be friends and help in other ways.
