50 Cofounder Questions

The survey content provides a comprehensive set of 50 questions designed to explore compatibility and alignment between potential co-founders.

Originating from Paul Biggar and refined by Gloria Lin, these questions cover six categories, including roles, corporate structure, personal motivation, commitment, finances, team culture, and the co-founder relationship. They aim to clarify expectations, skills, motivations, and potential challenges in a startup partnership.
