So it is essential to give some serious thought to finding co-founders and putting together an initial team with the right mix of personalities, skills, and relationships--and to think about how best to incentivize them. In fact, many successful entrepreneurs agree that after the core concept itself, putting together the right team is the second-most important determinant of success. On the concept, you're on your own, but when it comes to putting together the right team for the job, we can help. Join us on December 7th at Handlebar for a round table discussion of key strategies and pitfalls to keep in mind when putting together a team of co-founders. Our panel of entrepreneurs and investors will share insight into how to avoid discord, increase productivity, and maximize your company's value in the eyes of investors simply by being strategic about who you invite to join you as you set out to build your dream. In the new year, we'll be hosting an event aimed at actually introducing you to potential co-founders, so this informal event will serve as an essential primer for anyone aiming to launch their venture in 2013.
