Q: How do you approach building a co-founding team and choosing partners?

You need a personal connection beyond a formal interview, compensate with trust in each other's competence, and establish a dynamic where each founder's strength dominates decision areas. Luck helps, but exposure to many people increases your chances of finding the right chemistry.

#25 - StashAway CEO: Building A Fintech That Doesn’t Burn out | Michele Ferrario: “Passion Gives You Grit & Stamina During Tough Times.” “The Most Important Factor Is People.”

Q: What would you say to someone now who is trying to start their own business?

First, weigh the trade-offs between staying in a professional career and pursuing entrepreneurship, and ensure you can sustain both financially and emotionally through ups and downs.
