Investors often say they bet on the team, not the idea, and for good reason. This session is about building a founding team that can go the distance. We discuss what makes a strong team, what to look for in a co-founder, and which expectations, roles and responsibilities should be clarified early on. You will learn how to think about splitting equity and why vesting matters. We also cover the harder parts: uneven commitment, conflicts and changes in the team, and how a founding team needs to evolve as the company grows.
