KANGARU Talk | Co-Founder Dynamics

Startups with co-founders are more likely to succeed. Yet 65% of high-potential startups still collapse, and not from product failure, but from co-founder conflict.
Building with someone is one of the highest-stakes relationships you'll ever have. It looks seamless from the outside. Inside, it's constant calibration — values, friction, timing, trust.
On Wednesday 22 July, KANGARU is bringing together 4 founders, builders, and practitioners who've lived it: Maxim Shklyar, Alyona Lubimova, Masha Pelipas, and Marina Chelak.
No polished success stories. Just the moments that actually shaped their partnerships — the breakthroughs, the breaking points, and everything in between.
👉 After short insights from each speaker, the panel goes deep on what most people don't talk about:
🖌️ Formation — how functional partnerships actually start
🖌️ Friction — where communication breaks down under pressure
🖌️ Survival — navigating high-stress growth without splitting
🖌️ Evolution — knowing when to pivot, hold, or exit gracefully
As always — honest Q&A and direct networking with founders and builders in the room.
