<aside> 💬 “Finding a co-founder is a lot like marriage […] You should realise that this is going to be a 4-8 year commitment on average […] So this is not something to take lightly.”
- George Berkowski (Entrepreneur & Author)

A common concept when it comes to building a strong founding team is that of the Hacker, Hipster and Hustler.
The Hipster is the creative visionary who designs the product, the Hacker is the technical master who builds it, and the Hustler is the one who sells it.
The best way to find a co-founder is to use and grow your network. Is there anyone in mind from your course/societies/social circle with a relevant interest or experience and skills that compliment yours? Take a look at the Networking page for guidance on expanding your network, and perhaps invest some time into learning how to get the most out of LinkedIn.
