Starting a business with a co-founder can be exciting, scary, promising, and unexpected. There are so many assumptions made that do not end up going the way the initial business plan predicted. Like the evolution of a relationship from dating to marriage, the experience can be like a roller coaster. Many entrepreneurs decide to create their companies alongside a co-founder for a myriad of reasons. Many do so with the assumption that their relationship will be the glue holding their partnership together, only to find out it could lead to the demise of not only their partnership but the business. Many smart-minded business executives branch out toward entrepreneurship with another person leaving their business acumen in the dust and leaving it all to trust and chance. There is a way to navigate the phases of this road carefully that will not only lead to a successful partnership but hopefully an intact friendship.
