Last Friday we were given a copy of “Startup.com” to watch. It’s a documentary following a couple of guys who raised over $60M(!) for a portal to help people connect to their local government in the US, grew their headcount to over 200 people and then fairly rapidly went belly up in the .com bubble.The story itself is interesting enough and in some places hilarious (we thought, though this may have been unintended) but the documentary had a lot of gaps in the story particularly near the company’s end.One of the more absorbing aspects of it were a number of breakdowns in personal relationships betwen friends. So it was interesting that we came across an article on OnStartups.com titled “Important Questions Startup Co-Founders Should Ask Each Other” the very next day.

It’s a good starting point for anybody considering setting up a business with a friend: we’ll certainly be discussing it with regard to Waveson.
