We had worked together, formed a very close friendship and, when he was thinking about building a new business and invited me to join, I didn’t have to give it a second thought. We had invested so much time and effort into our relationship and felt so strongly about our connection and our ability to communicate with one another that we felt like we could cross at least one of the hurdles of starting a business off our list.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a recent \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.inc.com\u002Falisa-cohn\u002Fthe-secrets-to-great-co-founder-relationships.html\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003Cem>Inc.\u003C\u002Fem> article\u003C\u002Fa>, executive coach Alisa Cohn writes:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cblockquote>\n\u003Cp>“Productive communication is critical for co-founder success. You have to communicate to stay aligned, to work out normal tensions and conflicts, to create vision and strategy and plans and to regroup when things go off plan. During tough moments, if the co-founders are communicating the company has a better chance of making it through more easily.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003C\u002Fblockquote>\n\u003Cp>We couldn’t agree more and, reflecting back on the last few years of our partnership, we can easily (and regretfully) point to the times where the breakdown in communication nearly pushed us to the brink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As much effort as we put into having regular conversations and an overall commitment to feedback and transparency, when the waters become rough, we struggled to maintain focus on our intentions. Far too often over the years, we relied heavily on texts and emails to sort through highly-charged matters rather than pick up the phone to talk. Despite our expertise and deep understanding that written communication can be easily misinterpreted, we fell short on our objectives and allowed the madness of running a startup cloud our judgment. We got caught up in the emotional intensity that comes with building a plane as you fly it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch2 id=\"business-challenges-will-override-your-friendship-if-you-re-not-careful\">Business challenges will override your friendship (if you’re not careful)\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp>What was particularly challenging for us was that we were friends first. We hadn’t come together as founders and had a well-established relationship that was nurtured by meaningful and quality time with one another. Outside of our respective partners, we were each other’s “person” and we deeply trusted one another. Assuming this, we expected that we could tackle anything that came our way. However, what we didn’t anticipate was the erosion of our friendship. Both of us made the commitment that we would always put our personal relationship first but, suddenly, when there are investors and employees and we need to feed our families, the business won out. And our friendship took the brunt of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking a step back to reassess our priorities and mapping out some boundary lines to insulate our business partnership and personal friendship was one of the first steps to ensuring that we could more readily manage the future stressors that would inevitably arise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Steli Efti, CEO of Close.com offers \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fblog.close.com\u002Fthe-secret-to-successful-and-lasting-co-founder-relationships\" rel=\"noopener\">some great tips to nurture the important relationship between founders\u003C\u002Fa>. He suggests that “ultimately what you’ll learn is that you’re much better together than you are apart. At the end of the day, that’s what not only makes the relationships work, but also what makes the business work.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For me and my co-founder, we learned some simple communication lessons (that we had spent a lot of time teaching to others but forgot to apply to ourselves) for co-founding a business with your best friend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3 id=\"1-choose-your-communication-channel-wisely\">\u003Cstrong>1. Choose your communication channel wisely\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>Before you hit send on that text message or email, consider the complexity of the topic or the emotional intensity of the message you are sharing. If either of those are high, delete and pick up the phone. Slack is our messaging tool of choice and our rule is when the messages start flying back and forth, it is time to call it quits and find time to connect personally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3 id=\"2-establish-friend-date-nights\">\u003Cstrong>2. Establish friend “date nights”\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>Just like with your significant other, it is important that you set aside time with your co-founder to just hang out as friends and invest in your personal relationship. Even if you were not friends before you started your company, it is important that you devote time to being friends because that will lead to a more trusting and authentic relationship at work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3 id=\"3-find-a-safe-word\">\u003Cstrong>3. Find a safe word\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>My husband and I recently recognized that after decades of marriage we had not figured out how to back ourselves out of a fight. And, even when the fight was inane and unnecessary, neither of us backed down. Both of us being too stubborn to relent, we would often exacerbate the argument until we were genuinely angry at one another. So, we decided to institute a safe word to let each other know that it was time to quit the fight. The same tactic works well with your business partner. Sometimes you go off the rails because you’re stressed or anxious and there really is no reason to have a communication fail. Perhaps that is an “antelope” moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, remember that no matter how strong the relationship, how well-developed your communication skills might be, things are going to go awry. The sooner you can nip it in the bud and the faster you can remind each other why you started this venture to begin with, the more likely you are to persevere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n",4,"Tammy Palazzo","https:\u002F\u002Fpresentr.me\u002Fco-founding-a-startup-with-your-best-friend-read-this-first\u002F",{"site":19,"generated_at":20,"posts":21,"redirects":400},"presentr","2026-11-02T23:52:05.048Z",[22,31,39,48,58,69,78,87,96,105,114,123,132,141,150,159,168,171,180,189,198,207,216,226,234,243,252,261,269,278,288,297,305,313,322,330,339,347,355,364,373,382,391],{"slug":23,"title":24,"description":25,"date":26,"updated":26,"tags":27,"image":29,"url":30,"published_at":20},"ai-job-interviews-what-to-know","Your Next Interviewer Might Be an AI: What to Know","Learn how AI job interviews work, what candidates can ask under current laws, and how to practice speaking clearly without human cues.","2026-11-02",[28,10],"communication","https:\u002F\u002Fcontent.presentr.me\u002Fpresentr\u002Fassets\u002Fog.66688e1788.png","https:\u002F\u002Fpresentr.me\u002Fai-job-interviews-what-to-know\u002F",{"slug":32,"title":33,"description":34,"date":26,"updated":26,"tags":35,"image":36,"url":37,"published_at":38},"ai-dubbing-for-creators","Your voice in languages you don’t speak: What AI dubbing changes","What AI dubbing means for creators, from trust and translation errors to voice-cloning consent, platform labels, and a safe first test.",[11,28],"https:\u002F\u002Fcontent.presentr.me\u002Fpresentr\u002Fassets\u002Fog.74a22a99fd.png","https:\u002F\u002Fpresentr.me\u002Fai-dubbing-for-creators\u002F","2026-11-02T23:52:02.772Z",{"slug":40,"title":41,"description":42,"date":43,"updated":43,"tags":44,"image":45,"url":46,"published_at":47},"is-gen-zs-use-of-social-media-changing-the-way-we-communicate","Is Gen Z’s use of social media changing the way we communicate?","This is a guest blog by Presentr intern, Kathryn Salort This summer I landed myself an internship at Presentr, a technology and training company focused on…","2021-07-02",[11,12],"https:\u002F\u002Fcontent.presentr.me\u002Fpresentr\u002Fassets\u002Fog.69a9c428ed.png","https:\u002F\u002Fpresentr.me\u002Fis-gen-zs-use-of-social-media-changing-the-way-we-communicate\u002F","2026-11-02T22:00:41.497Z",{"slug":49,"title":50,"description":51,"date":52,"updated":53,"tags":54,"image":55,"url":56,"published_at":57},"what-have-we-learned-from-the-pandemic-when-it-come-to-communicating","What have we learned from the pandemic when it comes to communicating?","What have we learned from the pandemic when it comes to communicating?
