How are people officially engaging with co-founders they decide to work with?
“Much depends on each person's role in the project. If one person is responsible for the product, and another is, for example, an <a href="https://www.zfort.com/services/web-app-development" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">application developer</a>, then it's worth drawing up an agreement right away regarding shares, responsibilities, and intellectual property. This will prevent misunderstandings as the project begins to grow.”
Does this make you the Founder or Co-Founder?
“That's not a silly question at all 🙂. Technically, you remain the founder, since the project originated from your idea. But from the moment a partner with a significant contribution joins, you both become co-founders — especially if they take on a substantial part of the responsibility, such as <a href="https://www.zfort.com/services/web-app-development">application development</a> or product strategy.”
