I have an idea and would like to find a great co-founder to make it happens. Looking for a new edition of Startup Week End somewhere in the world. Hopefully I’ll find someone in a place in the world.

For Matthew Nordan, though there are always exceptions and many other factors to consider, here are the three things that correlate strongly to a great founder / founder team:

• Great founders come in pairs and they have history together: the co-founder setup with a bond trumps the solo founder
• Great founders are industry outsiders: they bring a fresh perspective to solving challenges
• Great founders have a sense of purpose: lofty, esoteric aspirations drive them to take on crazy, unreasonable challenges

Let’s speak later about the business idea. Keep in touch.
