I have a fantastic co-founder who I met at a tech networking event, instantly clicked over shared values, complementary skill sets and a mutual passion for innovative problem-solving!

Alec Nguyen · Answer

@lillianwardrobe that's so wholesome. Love when life happens like that. Props.

Also, Lillian, your support would be really great for our product launch this week.

Maxwell Davis · Answer

I did, but not anymore - long long story!

Answer

All cofounders were my colleagues - had to make sure we can work together before committing.

Divine Rivers · Answer

Yes, found my cofounder through cold DM on Linkedin back in December. I had a long feeling out process, which turn out to be the best. We work great together and have a lot of the same values. We are now preparing to launch the first half of our marketplace for sign-ups come July 17th

Funny story the first cold DM I sent and got coffee with was unknowingly to an engineer on the founding team of Apple Pay. Turned out, he had already left Apple just two weeks prior to pursue his own startup. We remain great friends today, but a good little nugget nonetheless.
