What matters most
- Clear roles
- Who contributes what, who decides what, and who does the work.
- Alignment
- Partners with different time horizons or appetites for risk will eventually disagree.
- Governance
- How decisions are made, and how a deadlock is broken.
- The exit
- How either party can leave, and on what terms, agreed while everyone is still on good terms.
Where it goes wrong
- Agreeing the headline deal and leaving the hard questions for later.
- Choosing a partner for their money alone.
- Having no way to resolve disagreements before they become disputes.
