“You’re undertaking an absolute whirlwind of a co-founder hunt by joining Antler. This means it’s easy to lose sight of the big picture. This article helps you focus and prepare. I’m not saying solo founders can’t succeed. They absolutely can, but it’s painful, it’s stressful and can even be limiting. So, finding the right co-founder is one of the most critical steps in your startup journey. It’s rarely trivial, but when it clicks, it’s like seeing the missing puzzle piece – suddenly the whole picture comes alive. Trust the process, trust yourself, and keep at it. The fact that you’re reading this means you’re committed to building something amazing, and you won’t have to do it alone. Keep your eyes and mind open, lean on the resources and people around you, and find a partner who shares your vision and ambition. Once you do, nurture that relationship like an invaluable asset. Good luck – and remember, the Antler team (myself very much included) is here for you every step of the way. If you stay self-aware, persistent, and community-minded, you’ll not only find a great co-founder but also become a stronger founder in the process. Now, onwards to building that unicorn 🚀 together!” — Darren Murphy
