You Finally Found a Cofounder — Now What?

This stage can feel like chaos. You’ve met someone promising - maybe even “the one” - and now you’re wondering:
What do I do next? How can I be sure this is the right person? Which questions should I even ask?

Many founders skip these conversations, rushing ahead to “finally get started.” That’s how red flags turn into breakups and expensive mistakes later.

Most startups don’t fail because of bad ideas — they fail because founders never had the right conversations. The Cofounder Dating Worksheet fixes that. It helps you to move from assumptions to confirmation, so you can outline how working together will actually be before signing anything.

This worksheet guides you through that process, making sure no important questions get left out, giving you a safe way to explore alignment, spot red flags, and confirm you’re building with the right person.
