I am working on a new company and spent yesterday afternoon brain-dumping into chatGPT the qualities I was looking for in a cofounder, as well as going through old notes / saved articles on the topic. Believe it or not, one of the things on the list was "ask candidates to weigh in on Parsnip's tech tree / personalized learning / etc." because there's serious overlap in your product and what we're trying to do with the way people consume news and form opinions on complex trending topics.
Anyway -- suffice to say this article is a gift at an unbelievably convenient time!
You might want to check out First Round's "50 Questions to Explore with a Potential Co-Founder"! Knowing what I know now, I would never found a company with someone before going through this exercise (or a similar one), and I know many others who would agree.
w.r.t. personalized learning: there's a lot of cool stuff happening behind the scenes that I can't quite share in public yet, but would be open to discussing on a call and learning more about your new idea!
Love this -- and amazing timing!
