SUMMARY:Find the Perfect Match: A Co-Founder as Passionate as Me
DESCRIPTION:Starting a company is a big deal\, but perhaps an even bigger deal is finding a co-founder or core executive team member as passionate as you. The search may start with leveraging your own network and attending networking events\, but what do you do if you don’t have much luck with either of those? Our set of panelists will discuss their experiences with finding the right person for a given position\, some tips and tricks they either used\, or would recommend startups use when budget is a major factor\, and share advice for searching for the perfect co-founder or core executive team member.
