Summary

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.
Gina and Lynn both experienced the relationship road in entrepreneurial matrimony from startup to breakup. They share their stories as well as the stories of many other entrepreneurs they interviewed across different scenarios. The book will take you on a journey through the different phases of relationships, both in personal life and the corporate world. These two women share their advice and some clear-cut guidance on how to plan, prepare, and prevent a boardroom blissful union from turning into a business and friendship blunder. This book is for anyone who has been in their own unplanned predicament where their company set up did not turn out as planned. This book will assist you in contemplating many scenarios that could arise, including those you may not even realize you need to put on the table for discussion. This will help you walk the aisle in a more prepared stride with your eyes wide open for potential co-founder chaos.
