From Idea to Startup Team: Meet Your Future Co-Founder
You have the idea. Now you need to figure out if you need a co-founder, and if you do, how to find one who will not slow you down six months from now.
This session gives you a structured process and then puts you in the room with people to practice it on.
Short on frameworks. Heavy on real conversation. Designed for founders who want to move fast and make the right call.
This event is for:
First-time founders who are not sure if they need a co-founder or just better tools
Professionals who want to validate their idea with a partner before leaving their job
Operators and builders ready to join a startup at the ground floor
You'll leave with:
A scoring rubric to evaluate any co-founder candidate
A 30-day trial framework to test collaboration before committing
Direct connections with builders who showed up ready to build
