Do you have a co-founder? How did you find them?

I have found that friends, family, and prior co-workers make the best co-founders. Because, the foundation of a dope partnership is based on trust, cohesion, communication, and collaboration. These points are already proven out with the folks listed above. As a backup, see if the FFPC Circle can tap their own networks. They might know someone who would best compliment your style and vibe. Here is the best resource I have seen for vetting a co-founder be it a friend or someone you are just meeting. A) https://review.firstround.com/th... B) https://www.beondeck.com/post/ho... I like the exercises that simulate the dynamics of a startup environment. It's critical to see firsthand how a potential co-founder thrives in and with: 1) a stressful pressure cooker environment/crisis 2) handles the division of duties 3) builds a culture and serves the greater good of the team/Co 4) Supports integrity & fairness

My partners and I met on Twitter. That's when I was thinking about building a SaaS product, caught some interesting ideas and needed someone to work alongside to validate it. I tweeted my ideas & expectations, reached to the one I thought he's a perfect fit...And yeah, finally there's one! Luckily, we made quite a team!

I met my co-founder at college and we then went to the same university, decided to start a business together after we finished.

Yes, my latest co-founder I found on LinkedIn. I know LinkedIn gets a bad rap, but the connections I made through it have been high quality. Before that, I found my previous co-founder in a coworking space, and we joined forces scarily fast, took us about 30 min. to click with each other and we were building already.

There is another way to find a co-founder. You can participate in hackathons, just pick the ones in which you have expertise. There are a number of people who are looking for teammates. E.g. search here https://devpost.com/

I met my co-founders at work and we developed Cloudback: https://www.producthunt.com/post...

I married her.

Great Post! Can you share what things to keep in mind while building to keep in mind while building your first saas product

Finding a co-founder is a slow process because requires time working together to build trust and commitment with the product. I think the chances of finding great co-founder decreases while the product moves forward. Ex-coworkers are a good source to find co-founders.
