The duo — along with their five other cofounders — built one of the most valuable AI businesses, one that investors. are racing to get into.In a talk at the Stanford Graduate School of Business, Amodei offered advice on picking a cofounder. Interpersonal relationship dynamics "matter a lot more than you think," she said."Dario and I have been fighting and getting over it for over forty years," she said. "He's my brother, and I used to steal his toys."One of Amodei's tips for finding a good cofounder: "Instead of starting. a company together, go on vacation together."Travel can reveal weaknesses in a relationship, from planning stops and booking flights to cohabitating. Cofounders should try sharing a room while vacationing, Amodei said.After the trip, evaluate the relationship. If entrepreneurs still want to spend time with their cofounders, Amodei said that it was likely a good match."If you're like, 'Really going to need. a vacation to recover from my vacation,' it might be the wrong choice," Amodei said.Being on the same page as your cofounder is also crucial. Having different skills may be helpful — think of the visionary Steve Jobs versus the realist Steve Wozniak — but having different principles can crush a company.Amodei gave the audience a challenge: Imagine you and your cofounder were locked in different rooms and asked to draw a picture of what the startup is doing. It's important that you don't end up drawing separate images, like a unicorn and a platypus, she said."That's the type of situation where you think you're doing the same thing, but I think it just doesn't end well," she said.Read the original article on Business Insider
