What the cofounder compatibility test measures

CofounderFit is a founder assessment built to surface likely alignment and tension areas before two people commit to building a company together. It uses 62 questions across eight startup-specific dimensions, then turns the result into a conversation guide rather than a pass-fail verdict.

The 8 dimensions

Leadership style
Risk profile
Work approach
Communication
Decision making
Stress and conflict
Values and priorities
Vision and execution

Before splitting equity

Use the assessment while the partnership is still easy to discuss, before ownership, roles, and expectations become expensive to change.

Before a trial collaboration

Turn the result into a short agenda for the first real project you complete together.

Before formal agreements

Use the tension areas to guide conversations about vesting, decision rights, conflict protocols, and operating cadence.

When to use the assessment

Use the assessment after there is serious interest in working together, but before you split equity, quit a job, assign IP, or lock in titles. The best time to test cofounder fit is while the relationship is still flexible enough to discuss honestly.

How results should be interpreted

A score is a decision-support signal, not a prediction of startup success. Read it beside a trial collaboration, reference checks, role clarity, and a written agreement. The value is in the conversations it helps founders have earlier.
