One of the most important reasons for failure is the inability to form a great team.

Whether it is Jobs – Wozniak (Apple), Gates – Ballmer (Microsoft), Page – Brin (Google), a good partnership between co-founders is an important predictor of future success. A lone entrepreneur is an exception not the norm.

Many investors prefer to invest in good teams rather than ideas or individuals. If you’re an individual looking to venture, you must find others who have complementary skill-sets and share your vision and passion.

Many of our accelerated ventures – particularly those by University Faculty – require co-Founders to succeed.

Are you looking for a co-founder? Or want to be a co-founder of another venture?
