50 Questions to Explore with a Potential Co-Founder

Post
From the “The Founder Dating Playbook – Here’s the Process I Used to Find My Co-Founder” by Gloria Lin, I found quite some questions are both interesting and tough to answer. I will show some examples below.
  • What impact do you want to have? Is your startup objective “getting rich” or “changing the world”? Is control or success more important? (i.e. Are you willing to step aside if the company is more likely to have a financially successful outcome or is it important for the founders to stay in control of the company’s destiny?)
  • How many hours/week are you willing to work? For how long? What sounds good? What sounds like hell? Do you have different expectations for different phases of the company’s lifespan? (i.e. willing to work harder in the beginning)
I attached a PDF here for you to read.
