Everybody knows that the right co-founder can make or break your startup. But how do you determine who the “right” co-founder is for you?
We are privileged to have two Princeton alumni – and former Princeton roommates – share their journey as co-founders of AcuityMD.
Ed Zschau Jr. will lead them in a probing discussion about how they knew that they would be good co-founders, how their complementary skillsets and their ability to have difficult discussions has been a key ingredient in AcuityMD’s success to date and what you can learn from their example as you are considering finding – or becoming – a startup co-founder.
- Ed Zschau Jr. '86, Partner, Parker Remick
- Robert Coe '12, CTO & Co-Founder, AcuityMD
- Mike Monovoukas '12, CEO & Co-Founder, AcuityMD
