"Cofounder Clarity: Effective Tactics for Founding Teams" with Dr Matthew Jones

About this event

Your cofounder relationship will do more to make or break your company than almost any other decision you make. Yet most founders spend more time on their pitch deck than on the partnership that has to survive it. Dr. Matthew Jones is a licensed psychologist who's spent years working with co-founding teams backed by YC, Sequoia, a16z, and Google Ventures, helping them turn friction into an advantage, instead of a fault line. In this session, Matthew covers: • What to actually look for in a cofounder, before you commit • Why cofounder conflict isn't a red flag, and how to tell the difference between healthy tension and a real problem • Practical tools for communication, decision-making, and navigating compromise when it counts This session is for anyone currently looking for a cofounder, already in a cofounder relationship, or someone navigating one that's under strain.
