In fact, the biggest reason most startups fail is\u2026 can you guess it? Founder\u2019s quarrels. I've seen partnerships that have enabled the individual partners to garner greater success than either of these might have attained individually. And I've seen partnerships that have blossomed into powerful long-term ventures that have lasted decades and made the partners both very wealthy. Personally, I\u2019ve had a trusted partner in every business I\u2019ve started. Some of you already know this about me, but Latchel is actually my 3rd business venture. In my first business, I launched a mobile ordering application with a friend from college. (We started as roommates and became best friends. The same way that I met my 3rd business partner Will Gordon, COO at Latchel.) In my 2nd business, I launched an e-commerce company that used Amazon FBA for fulfillment. We sold photography accessory products for smartphones. I launched that business with a co-worker turned best friend and we built that company to over $1MM in revenues in our first year."}
