I would scrutinize potential partners much more thoroughly. We've encountered numerous individuals and companies who seem to be merely testing the waters – they approach us with the intention of assessing the feasibility of a partnership or collaborative arrangement. The challenge here is that, as a startup founder, you must always keep your focus on the next six months, where your company needs to be, and what's essential to achieve those goals. I believe it's beneficial to adopt a more rigorous vetting process for potential partnerships and working relationships right from the start, as it could prevent them from becoming a significant drain on our time and resources.
