Where to Find a Business Partner
Finding a great partner is like looking for your first employee. Trust matters. For any key position look to your professional and social networks. Your potential startup partner has to be someone you will enjoy working most of your hours with.
You want someone who compliments your skills; who has strengths where you have weaknesses. You don’t have to rush into choosing a partner, it’s very consequential – 70% of partnerships fail. The big question is, should you work with family or friends?
