How do you assemble a star founding team?

[View in browser]( Hey {EMAIL}, We hope your weekend is going great! Entrepreneurs are typically faced with a number of dilemmas when starting out; one of them is whether or not they need a co-founder. Although there is no right or wrong answer, there's no question that having the right people on your founding team can be critical to your startup's success. Here are a couple of benefits that come with having co-founders: - They bring useful and complementary skill sets to the table. One founder could be good at raising money and building relationships with investors, while the other could be good at tightening the nuts and bolts of day to day operations. Thus, each co-founder can oversee the area they're best at. - Co-founders are a co-driving force. Building is a tough job, and on the days when you find yourself losing steam or the work gets overwhelming, you know that your co-founders will be there to keep you focused and motivated. So how do you know when you need a co-founder, and how do you identify the right people? Next Friday, February 18, Tito Ovia will be sharing important lessons and tips from her experience.
