Teams are incredibly important mechanisms for startups. But not just any teams. High-functioning, high-execution teams…what did he just say? Basically, teams that are able to execute on work, think creatively, put in the hours, and make the startup work above all else.

Sound kind of scary?

It should…

Building great teams is no easy task. By any standard.

In some cases, it can take years to get that “OMG type”, team.

Here are 6 kinds of people that I currently have in my startup and who I will always have on my teams moving forward.

Let’s get into it.

1. Majority-Holding Founder

The days of 50–50 ownership are over. Actually, they never began. No matter what kind of business you are building, you need someone with the final say. This is very important. If you and another co-founder both have 50%, and you disagree, who has the final say on the decision? Thus, problems begin before you’re even off the ground.
