The philosopher Bernard Shaw said:

“If you have an apple and I have an apple, and we exchange apples, we’ll each still have one apple. But if you have an idea and I have an idea, and we exchange ideas,

we’ll each have two ideas.”

That’s why the human instinct to connect and collaborate will never change. Isolation and striving for perfection will never make you a better person; they mean you are

a person with just one mind, one heart, and one body—unlike those who believe collaboration is part of the perfection we seek in something. By nature, people differ in what they lack.

Sharing knowledge is a sign of maturity—both in trusting others and in recognizing that no one is perfect, and that you are only half a person, searching for your other half

in this life; and in developing an idea, growing it from a seed into a plant that bears fruit.

With my firm belief in the importance of a co-founder and their role in the success of startups—and that a decision you make today can pay dividends tomorrow—I decided to explore the many roles they play

and highlight them, so we can bring our ideas to life instead of leaving them locked away in desk drawers because of our limited ability to make such potentially revolutionary projects succeed.

1 – Thinking out loud:

Humans are instinctively inclined to think out loud. This means having someone by their side who supports an opinion, suggests an idea, and critiques a decision. In a world of

business full of chaos—which is, in reality, the result of a lack of connection between cause and effect—there is a gap between the problem and the solution. This means that

more than one mind should be involved in finding an appropriate solution to every problem.

2 – Bridging the skills gap:

It’s natural for every person to have unique personal skills that set them apart. And because every project has its own needs, having a partner can help complete the project’s skill set.

This is essential to avoid losing passion and enthusiasm along the way. One of the biggest mistakes startups make is hiring

A startup idea needs belief before money, and passion before work, to succeed. Your project won’t have the right mix of these qualities unless you find

3 – Launch faster:

Remember what General George Patton said:

“A good plan, violently executed today, is better than a perfect plan executed tomorrow.”

This is clear evidence that you need to work as quickly as possible. Having a partner makes it easier to manage the growing workload by sharing tasks.

It gives you the opportunity to think about other things you might not have time to tackle on your own.

This is important when launching, as it helps speed up progress. Seeking perfection in a minor part of the project can drive up costs, and you may be forced

to shut down your project very early. In addition, delaying your startup’s launch in pursuit of perfection can have a negative effect on your team,

which may become frustrated and lose motivation at work.

4 - Having a second version of yourself walking around:

Many founders have missed the opportunity to develop their product because they were busy looking for an investor for their venture. They prioritized what was important over what was essential: the chance to meet a customer.

A potential customer meeting can be just as valuable as meeting an investor who may not be serious. That’s where a co-founder’s value lies: they’re like a second version of you, out there in the world.

While one focuses on product development, the other builds the foundations for future investment.

.

5- Better decisions:

People think differently, which is all the more reason to broaden our perspectives and arrive at an opinion free of the mistakes and bad consequences that have brought down many

startups. Diverse ways of thinking increase the chances of making a better decision.

.

6- Build investors’ confidence and sense of security:

After the dot-com bubble, investors became more discerning and paid greater attention to whether a startup’s team had complementary skills, so they would not fall into

the trap of a project shutting down after some time because the team lacked the skills needed to make it succeed. As a result, having a well-rounded team became essential, and even accelerators

around the world now reject teams that lack the necessary skills to join them. Delivering a finished product within 12–14 weeks is

extremely difficult for one person—indeed, virtually impossible.

.

7- Taking risks:

Some companies start with funding provided solely by the founder. This turns the team into employees rather than partners or co-founders, increasing the risk if the company fails.

The burden falls entirely on the founder, while the team is simply a group of people working set hours, eyes fixed on the clock as they look forward to escaping the work of the venture.

Perhaps they never cared about it. Having a funding partner who contributes money or expertise to help complete the project improves its chances of success and reduces the likelihood of failure.

.

8. Make the most of your network:

You may one day discover that your project’s network is one of the foundations of its success. Every core team member has an extensive network of contacts that you may

be able to leverage for your project. I consider this the most important benefit of having a partner: you may get access to free services or consultations.

At no cost, through your project team’s network of connections—helping you save a great deal on expenses.

.

9 – Boosting morale:

They say the temptation to give up is strongest when you’re just about to succeed. This is why many startups have disappeared due to a lack of

solutions, motivation, and the desire to succeed. If you’re thinking of abandoning your project today and catch a glimmer of hope in your partner’s eyes, that may be what brings you back to try

once again. A partner’s value lies in helping you move from giving up to achieving success.
