Most co-founders meet through mutual friends, at hackathons, or at work I met @rishabhjava two and a half years ago in an online group for C-suite execs He wanted my input on what he was building at the time, and I thought it was a great product

At the time, I had just left my job and wanted to take a break But his energy and passion for building was contagious, and instead of a break, I jumped into a call with him and we started working together the next day

On a call, he told me about building robots as a kid, speaking at top-tier conferences, and winning dozens of hackathons and awards But what struck me wasn’t the resume - it was his personality I felt like I was talking to someone I had known for years

Since then, we have been just building non-stop, like there is no tomorrow Sometimes it's stressful, hard, and differences arise almost every single day, especially on big decisions We may disagree, but we never lose our focus He leads product, I lead business

Good co-founders don’t think alike They are not perfect They see things differently Founders should challenge each other, embrace their strengths, and always be brutally honest Otherwise, your startup dies in silence
