Should I Start A Venture With A Friend?

It is virtually impossible to find one person who can display all the requisite skills for effective leadership as a single founder. Co-founders can often split the workload in different ways—startups often have technical co-founders and business co-founders, businesses often have CEOs and COOs—and there are many variations. The bottom line is that there is a huge amount of energy and a variety of complex skills that are needed to successfully get a new venture off the ground.
