Attracting Kickass Co-founders | 3:00 - 4:00 PM

Sign up or log in to save this to your schedule, view media, leave feedback and see who's attending!

You've tried the solopreneur gig and just can't seem to get ahead in gaining traction. You’ve been told you need a co-founder, but why? Turns out, attracting, bringing on a co-founder and coming to agreeable terms is complex. How do you pick the right one? Come hear from successful startup coaches and co-founders and learn:

  • What's the right makeup for a team? Do I need a co-founder? More than one?
  • Why should I consider someone with a military background? 
  • Where do you find them? (HINT: Co-founder meetups and Bunker Labs!)
  • How do you “date”? 
  • Coming to terms: Equity, vesting and organizing responsibilities 
  • Keeping the peace: disagreements, managing strong personalities and how do you handle or avoid a breakup? 

Austin Startup Week is supported in part by Capital FactoryTechstarsGalvanize, and Janik Vinnakota LLP.
 If you see someone from their teams, give them a hug and hi-five!
