3 things to look for when choosing your co-founders

This post was inspired by an article I read recently in VentureBeat, with the same title, "3 Things to Look for When Choosing Your Co-Founders".  It's quite eerie and amazing, again, how similar the three things you look for when choosing your co-founder for your business, aka the person you will go into business with – are to the things you ought to look for when choosing the co-founder for your own family and your future, a.k.a. the person you will grow your family with. 

1.       Choose a “friend” – not because they are your friend, but because they have the right combination of absolute loyalty to you and the team, and die hard trustworthiness and trust in you and the team.  Faith.  Commitment.  When the tough get rough, the bank is in the red and the world seems to be against you, will they stand by you?  Will they stick up for you?  Trust is an absolute must-have and without it, a deal breaker.  Take the time to get to know the person, grow the relationship and the trust.

2.       Choose your mirror, not your clone – choose a co-founder with the right combination of skills that complement you and the team.
