Every founder worries about choosing the wrong cofounder, for good reason. Bad partnerships implode companies faster than bad markets.
This episode brings together a lawyer, an investor, and a founder to unpack the red flags, the green flags, and the patterns they see when partnerships break down. From mixing business with friendship to navigating control, ownership, and expectations, nothing is off the table.
Plus: the question too many founders avoid, should you even have a cofounder at all?

A life-saving emergency response service. An AI-powered personal assistant for mothers. A platform supporting new and expectant moms.
For the founders behind these companies, motherhood wasn’t just part of their story — it was the spark. The experiences that came with becoming mothers didn’t just inspire their ideas; they gave them the clarity, urgency, and insight needed to build products that could actually stand up in the market.
In this roundtable, we explore how motherhood became their operating advantage, shaping the way they build, lead, and solve problems that might have gone unseen without that lived experience.
