Cofounder Compass
Congratulations, dear entrepreneur! Today you take an important step toward improving the relationship with your co-founder(s), getting into flow together, and growing your company with real enjoyment. Below you'll find eighteen questions about the three building blocks of that crucial relationship. It only takes five minutes to fill in. At the end you can share a link with your co-founder(s) so they can fill in the Cofounder Compass themselves. I will give you feedback on the best next step to get aligned and gain momentum together.
Good luck — I'm happy to help, Philip Spaas

What comes out
Each block stands on its own. There's no overall score: an average would erase exactly the block that's going wrong. Look at your lowest block.
A difference of three or more on a single question says more than any score. People who see the same partnership differently have left something unsaid. Start there.
Three more open questions. They're optional — but this is often where what doesn't fit the numbers shows up.
Where does it get stuck for you two?
What are the most important values for you?
What do you think are your co-founder's most important values?
Invite your co-founder
