A great episode for anyone currently looking for a co-founder.Nascent uses an algorithm developed by two professors of entrepreneurship to measure fit between co-founders, going beyond hard skills to look at personality traits and entrepreneurial soft skills like passion and persistence. For €89 and 15 minutes, founders get matched with potential co-founders and a report flagging both the strengths and the friction points to expect.Ines walked me through the spin-off process from university research to venture, how the matching algorithm actually works, and how Nascent compares to alternatives like Y Combinator's co-founder matching and imec.istart. We also got into the harder stuff: how to know when a co-founder relationship isn't working, and why - especially in a conflict-averse culture like Belgium's - the tough conversations you want to avoid are the ones that matter most.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/PymXPYyKm804pautuwR3vwA3D2d65lOxadyZPDeEqrc/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS81N2I3/MmQxOGI0ZGZjNzk3/MmY2MDYwOTBkNzg4/NDM2Yi5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
