20. Caterina Fake & Stewart ButterfieldRenaud Visage, Kevin and Julia Hartz

21. How to succeed?
“There is a common trend:
the most well-rounded pairs
recognized their individual limitations and
respected what the other could bring to a
partnership.”

22. Optimal Team = 2.09 People

23. 1. Identify your strengths & sell
them (i.e. I’m good at …)
2. Identify your weaknesses to fill
them with a partner
(i.e. I need someone good at …)
3. Search for the right partner
everywhere until you find them
(i.e. Network & keep eyes open)
How to start?

24. Summary
• Teamwork is essential to succeed
• People assume different team roles
• A successful team consists of members with
complementing team roles
• Belbin test is a tool that helps us understand our
team roles and others’ to perform better
• Finding the right business partner is not easy but
essential for a successful startup
• Startups succeed better in 2-3 team members
