Cofounding The Right Way: A practical guide to successful business partnerships
Jobs & Wozniak, Page & Brin, Ben & Jerry... any list of successful companies seems awash with cofounders who are a match made in business heaven. The benefits are by combining resources, knowledge, expertise and motivation, cofounders can often build something far more successful together compared to going solo.
And yet... two-thirds of startups fail because of disagreements between founders. Why? Because cofounding isn’t as simple as drawing up an agreement and shaking hands on it.
In fact, there are seven steps required to build cofounding teams that win and last. Cofounding The Right Way will take you through these steps, one simple step at a time, from finding the right cofounders all the way through to structuring your team, splitting the equity, making sure everyone stays motivated and documenting it in your cofounding agreement. Is a partnership even right for you in the first place? That’s Step No. 1!
Get your cofounding team right, and you’ll be in the best possible position to handle any challenge that’s thrown in your direction. Get it wrong and not even the best business idea will be able to survive

Poor content (derived mostly from existing literature) and badly written. Somewhat useful if you are currently evaluating a Co founder but not particularly insightful book.

If you're considering to scale or grow your cofounding team, I found the book "Cofounding the Right Way" as a really great resource for it. As I always tell my team, finding the right cofounders can be hard but worth it but if it's not well thought of, it can also be very disastrous. It's supposed to be hard because having a cofounder is like marriage in business and you have to be critical in finding your "the one" :wink: . I've had my share of failures in finding team mates in the past and this book is really helping me now.
