There really is so much to building a product, team and company. It hard, damn hard than what you think it is. I’m not an expert at it but have have been through a zillion failures, some that created permanent scars in my life. Fortunately enough, I’ve my share of personal successes too.

Over the past year I’ve been looking forward for co-founding opportunities or positions of influence where I can put my experience to use without sacrificing on the learning opportunities.

I’ve not managed to find any success as yet. I’ve my core values and basic expectations that I’m not willing to compromise. And I’m happy starving even than to make compromises. Why? Because to me picking up a gig is making a bet where I sweat things out. And when it comes to a startup, finding co-founders who are both like-minded and complimentary is absolutely vital.

In this post I’ll share some of the observations I’ve made in the course of my interaction with my potential founder(s). I’ve lately been tweeting about it in the format “______________. Moment you realise this #startup is not worth your bet”. I’m just going to copy paste those below:
