How to find a cofounder (our story)

Who are we?

Jon is a Web Designer and Developer in Chicago. Justin is a Product Manager and Podcaster from Canada.

How did we meet?

We met in 2014 at XOXO in Portland. At the end of the festival, we said to each other: “We should build something together someday.”

How do you find a cofounder?

Go to events!
Build your own projects: make stuff, tell people.
Build long-term relationships (“I’m never going to team up with someone I just met”)

What should you look for in a cofounder?

What we urge you to do

Sign real legal documents!
Use Stripe Atlas
Be really up-front about:
- Your values
- Your aspirations: what are you trying to get out of this?
Talk to a lawyer
