Do you need a cofounder for your startup or not?
How to make this crucial decision?
In this video I will share a 2*2 mental model that will help you make a decision of whether your startup should have a cofounder or not.
#Warikoo #Startups #Founder
And once you have made the decision, we will also talk about where you can find your co-founder, and what are the most important parameters to find them.
As you watch the video, do remember that what applies to you does not apply to someone else and vice versa. Knowing who you are, is super important!

Hye, I loved this video. I met my cofounder through a friend. I used to be very distracted and very confuse because in my circle people don't have a growth mindset and they are not passionate about problem-solving and building a business out of it. I still remember, asking my friends of anyone they know who is like me, who wants to achieve something in his life and do business. One day, one of my friends said yeah he has a friend who is kind of mad like you. He helped us to get connected and we both loved each other. Then we used to meet for a whole year to discuss different ideas and our progress on our own projects and one day we decided to work together on his idea which was pretty cool. We are together since then and trying hard to build a brand.

Gives a lot of clarity. Just adding to this - a deeper dive into some past behaviour, professional and personal abt the potential co-founder if required would save a lot of your time if engaged. how trustworthy is this guy( he has all the necessary skills ) , bt what do other people - his co-workers, past colleagues, acquaintances have to say abt him- will this guy really back you up in all the ups and down that are to come..does he has the courage to honestly say what he feels abt 'X' and what alternatives can both work mutually and so on.

Hey Ankur. A very useful video with clear ways to know whether or not one needs a co-founder in the first place. People don't usually think about that at all and just dive into finding a co-founder. I had a few questions that were running in my mind- when we look for cofounders or even when we try to network with people to know things about a completely new domain in which we may want to start a business in, do we reveal information about our vision and the details about our business plan? I feel that the best way is to be transparent and deeply connect in order for us to understand and evaluate if they would be suitable or not, however there is also a possibility that they take our idea and put it into use first due to whatever advantage they have in the field. How do I tackle this properly? Any suggestions?
