How to Find a Co-Founder in 2023

What would you choose — building a business with a stranger or with your best friend? A good co-founder is someone who has the right professional expertise, shares your values and approach to work. And most importantly, it is someone you easily get along with.

According to a research report by CB Insights, 23% of startups fail because of team-related issues, which includes co-founder conflicts. Another study by Noam Wasserman, a Harvard Business School professor, found that around 65% of high-potential startups fail due to co-founder conflicts.

So how do you find the right person to make sure this won’t happen to you? Open communication and clear expectations can help mitigate these challenges. In order to smooth out the first communication and build trust, you need to use modern tools for networking.
