I have experience in this area, I should say: the topic of looking for a co-founder depends on a few factors. Gather the data first, don't make emotional decisions.

Another perspective: maybe the core issue with looking for a co-founder is something else. Think about it...

i think differently and everyone rushing into looking for a co-founder gets stuck at the same point.
when making a decision, first look at what data you have on hand.
I have a question. If decision-making authority isn't defined it causes daily issues, not just during exits.

Let me speak from the other side; I'm on the supplier side. Trying to do this alone is the most expensive way.
Just leaving this note, it might be useful.

I can't fully agree with this. The answer varies greatly by industry; there is no one-size-fits-all rule.

I think it's hard to be that definitive about looking for a co-founder. Any unwritten clause becomes a point of disagreement later, as both sides remember it differently.

Following. Partnership isn't a decision to make without working together first.
Processes without records never improve, because you don't know what to fix. Of course, it varies if your situation is different.

It's rare to find an explanation this clear. Trying to do this alone is the most expensive way.
If I were you, I'd go this route.

Absolutely. If I were to add anything: The real issue isn't the number, but what it's based on.

A small warning: the method shared above should be tested on your own system, not someone else's. Unauthorized testing goes beyond a technical issue.
