What To Look For and Avoid in a Co-Founder
Iterative is hosting a meetup in Singapore, tailored for people considering or actively seeking a co-founder.
The startup journey is undeniably tough. For many, having a co-founder can make a huge difference, but finding the right one and nurturing a strong partnership is its own challenge.
Join Hsu Ken Ooi, Managing Partner at Iterative, for an engaging evening of candid conversation and valuable insights. Drawing from his own 20-year journey in a successful co-founder relationship with Brian Ma, Hsu Ken will reveal the secrets behind their synergy, how they initially met and the signals that affirmed the potential of their partnership.
During this event, discover how you can find potential co-founders, navigate the vetting process, and key factors that make or break co-founder relationships. Gain actionable insights to apply to your search for the right co-founder for you.
Attendees will have the opportunity to meet people who are looking for co-founders.
This event is part of our Iterative Co-Founder Matching initiative, a platform to help founders in Southeast Asia find their co-founder. Every single week, we match founders with a new potential co-founder. Click here to be part of the platform and meet potential co-founders.
