CoFounder

Founding Team: Key people in Start Up. Can be fuzzy to define

• do they have to have all started on the same day0?
• do they all have to have similar levels of equity?
• do they all have to be on the Board Of Directors?

Some people suggest 2 CoFounder-s is sufficient.

• Hacker (Technical Cofounder) and Hustler 2012-09-04-RaoEntrepreneursAreTheNewLabor
• Jun'2013: Elizabeth Yin on why you can't find a Technical Cofounder. You, as a non-technical entrepreneur, are not selling a dream or the vision. You are selling traction. (Use non-software-driven Minimum Viable Product.)
  • Sept'2013 update gives more non-code MVP examples.

Some people recommend you have 3 people on team

• add a Designer to your Hacker/Hustler duo. Pfft.
• or a Vp Product as designer-ish to complement a Vp Engineering
