A co-founder must be able to compliment the other person’s weaknesses, in short to balance the weakness of other with his strengths. Another aspect of becoming a co-founder is to have mutual understanding. A co-founder must be selected by means of him respecting his colleagues and treating everyone on equal terms, and it should be same the other way. Such mutual admiration between co-founders helps to develop a healthy relationship between them.

Investing in a company is essential for a co-founder, but working towards a similar goal through their mission and vision is also important. It is an important factor as it unites the co-founders in achieving their set goals. Hence, co-founders must be crystal clear about achieving long term and short term goals of the company through mutual understanding, respect, and to have a common understanding about the future of their business.

Co-founders cannot work together till the time they are not comfortable of working along with. It becomes easy to run a business if co-founders are working together in a comfortable environment.
