The wrong cofounder can cost more than being solo
A missing partner is obvious. A misaligned partner is expensive in slower ways.
For founders deciding whether to begin or continue a partnership.
Solo founder costs are visible: slower execution, fewer perspectives, more emotional load. A wrong cofounder can create hidden costs in every major change.
The issue is not whether the person is talented. The issue is whether trust, decision rhythm, and conflict repair can survive pressure.
Before formalizing the relationship, read the change that partnership would create in the company and in your own judgment.
