Great partnerships can make great companies.
Working with a partner can help you grow your company while keeping your mental health intact. It's a huge relief to have someone with whom to share ideas, expenses, setbacks and successes. Even if you have terrific employees or supportive friends or family, you can't discuss issues with them the same way you can with a business partner. In a partnership, there's increased strength from having a balance of complementary talents. The same is especially true in technology companies, with one partner bringing the technological strength and the other the managerial capabilities.
