The cofounder check

Cofounder breakups kill more startups than competitors do, and they rarely break on skill. They break on defaults: who decides, how disagreements resolve, what risk feels acceptable, whether process or relationship carries trust.

You answer eighteen yes-or-no’s, send your cofounder one link, and you both see the reading: your alignment, your widest gap, and which conversations to have on purpose instead of by ambush.

A gap is not a verdict: complementary positions build great companies, but only when both people know the gap is there.
