Remember this when you are building your dream team: Quality Over Speed

Finding a co-founder with an entrepreneurship mindset in developing countries for your business is a huge decision. And it should not be done in haste.

The pressure to find a co-founder just to secure funding is a recipe for disaster.

The ideal person should be someone who shares your passion for the problem your business addresses.

You need someone who creates a powerful synergy for a successful partnership. 

Think of Ben & Jerry's - a duo who built a billion-dollar ice cream empire fueled by a shared love of creativity and deliciousness.

While investors may have their preferences, prioritizing a co-founder based solely on meeting their criteria can backfire.

A bad partnership dynamic can destabilize your entire financial foundation.
 
Repairing fundamental team chemistry is far more challenging than addressing a leaky budget.

So, invest in the right people.

Focus on building a dream team, not just a team that meets an investment checkbox. 

A strong team built on quality relationships will ultimately drive sustainable success.
