Panel Discussion: Co-Founder Matchmaking - How to Make the Marriage Work

Starting a new venture is exhilarating, but beneath the excitement lies a crucial decision that can make or break your startup: choosing your co-founders. It’s often likened to a marriage, and for good reason – you’ll be spending countless hours, navigating intense challenges, and making pivotal decisions together.

Join us for an insightful panel discussion where we’ll delve deep into this critical early step in startup formation. Our moderator, Luke Donahue, a seasoned startup founder with extensive experience in new business development, will lead a conversation with local entrepreneurs and ecosystem providers. Luke, having been through the startup journey multiple times, understands the nuances and challenges of building a strong founding team.

This panel will explore why selecting the right co-founders is paramount, examining the qualities that contribute to a resilient and successful partnership. Whether you’re a budding entrepreneur with a “napkin idea” or contemplating your next venture, this discussion will provide invaluable insights and practical advice on building a founding team that sets your startup up for success. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn from those who have navigated these waters and gain a clearer roadmap for your own entrepreneurial journey.
