Five Key elements to becoming an effective Co-founder

1. Treat people like volunteers: The best people are like volunteers —they’ll work passionately for a hard, meaningful mission. 2. Protect teams from distractions: Create focus and clarity. Set clear goals and priorities to build momentum for your team. 3. Invite Disagreement: Encourage open team dialogues early and often. 4. Keep pace with expertise: have the technical expertise to effectively manage the work. 5. Overcome Discouragement: Build a support system / Advisory Board, and know how to ask for help in order to overcome doubt.
