Finding the Right Co-Founder: It's Like Dating In the latest episode of the DevReady Podcast, I had the pleasure of chatting with Nate Spiteri, Co-Founder of Shopfront. Nate shared some fascinating insights about his journey through the Antler program and how he proactively approached the challenge of finding the perfect co-founder. Comparing the process to dating, Nate emphasized the importance of aligning on passion, complementary skills, and the drive to build something impactful. In our conversation, Nate detailed how he reached out to potential co-founders even before the program started, forming a strong partnership with Drew Flaherty , who shared his vision for making a difference. Their quick alignment and determination led them to hit the ground running, becoming one of the first teams to form within the program.
