Er du på jagt efter en (forretnings)partner ?

Har du taget det store valg og går benhårdt efter drømmen om at blive iværksætter, ja så skal du på et tidspunkt gøre dig en endelig overvejelse om du vil stå helt alene, eller finde den rette forretnings partner.
Jeg har netop læst et fantastisk godt indlæg omkring dette og hvorfor det er optimalt at gå efter at blive et makkerpar (to) og ikke en trio (tre) eller flere.

Picking a co-founder is your most important decision. It’s more important than your product, market, and investors.


The ideal founding team is two individuals, with a history of working together, of similar age and financial standing, with mutual respect. One is good at building products and the other is good at selling them.

The power of two
Two is the right number — avoid the three-body problem. Think Jobs and Wozniak, Allen and Gates, Ellison and Lane, Hewlett and Packard, Larry and Sergei, Yang and Filo, Omidyar and Skoll.

One founder companies can work, against the odds (hello, Mark Zuckerberg). So can three founder companies (hello, @biz, @ev, and @jack). In three founder companies, the politics can be tough — gang-up votes, jockeying for board seats, etc. — but it’s manageable. Four is an extremely unstable configuration and five is right out. When 4-5 founder companies work, it’s because two founders dominate.

Two founders works because unanimity is possible, there are no founder politics, interests can easily align, and founder stakes are high post-financing.
