This is an excellent and comprehensive list, covering all the critical factors for effective co-founder matching. From my experience, the process should always start with spending substantial time together to assess mutual compatibility and likeability. Beyond that, trusting your gut instinct is crucial after having in-depth conversations about all the listed details.

In my opinion, discussions around aligned strategy, team dynamics, full time commitment, equity, and salary are the most pivotal aspects for building a successful co-founder relationship. These are the 'juicy' topics that lay the foundation, especially because the partnership will inevitably face challenges and stress tests along the way.
