Co-founder disputes can be startup killers— but it doesn't have to be that way. On the @LightconePod, Garry, Harj, Jared, and Diana share their experiences navigating co-founder conflict and their advice for how you can manage these challenges at your own startup.
Disagreements are inevitable but how they are handled defines everything. One way to grow past challenges is by surrounding yourself with the right people. I'm hoping to find a co-founder myself at the Masumi Hackathon in San Francisco Bay Area on April 18 and 19 at Silverside AI Offices. Top devs, AI leaders, and problem solvers including myself will be there to collaborate, learn and compete for $10,000 bounty. Devs can learn more and apply.

@ycombinator @LightconePod I have applied 2M in ARR and got rejected not even at top 10% because of no co-founder. Why is cofounder really needed? Is it because when investors want to convince you to take one path, they have a better chance with 2 people in charge in case convincing one?
@ycombinator @LightconePod Co-founders are backbone of any startup, their strength is everything. Great content full of so many lessons for any startup.

@ycombinator @garrytan @LightconePod How can we connect with your agent building portcos to help them with distribution through our agent registry? @hellomother_ai
@ycombinator @paulg @LightconePod True. But when power dynamics shift and early contributions are erased, it’s often game over. Protect your role with solid agreements, equity structures, and a clear exit plan.
@ycombinator @LightconePod Co-founder conflicts are tough, but managing them well can strengthen your startup. I've seen it firsthand! Great to see experienced founders sharing their insights! 🚀
I’ve experienced how co-founder disputes can stall a startup, early on, a simple misalignment almost derailed an entire project. The Masumi Hackathon is a great opportunity for devs to showcase AI agents that enhance efficiency and deliver real value to enterprises. With $10K USDM in prizes, there’s even more motivation to build something impactful. Happening in the San Francisco Bay Area on April 18-19 at Silverside AI Offices.
