In this episode of FounderMetrics, Ifty Nasir sits down with Nicki Coe, a leading co-founder coach, to discuss why most startups fail—not because of bad ideas, but because of co-founder relationship breakdowns. She shares insights on co-founder dynamics, communication strategies, prenup agreements, and leadership alignment to help founders avoid disaster.

Drawing from her experience as the co-founder of Luna + Lion, Nicki talks about why business partnerships feel like marriages, why clear roles and agreements are essential, and how startup teams can avoid misalignment that leads to failure. We also dive into the biggest co-founder horror stories, the hidden emotional toll of business partnerships, and why prenups aren't just for marriages.

If you’re a startup founder, investor, or considering launching a business with a partner, this episode is essential listening.🌟
