Know your co-founder before it matters
The Opinion DNA Co-Founders Report compares you and your co-founder across 48 dimensions — revealing alignment in values, risk tolerance, decision-making style, and how you each handle conflict under pressure.
Co-founder relationships are the foundation startups are built on. When they work, everything else gets easier. When they don't, nothing else matters. The problem is that most co-founders discover their deepest misalignments too late — under stress, with money on the line, when the cost of a breakup is catastrophic. Opinion DNA makes those fault lines visible before they become fractures.
What the Co-Founders Report reveals
Values alignment
See whether you share the same moral foundations — authority, fairness, loyalty, care. These shape every hiring decision, pricing call, and partnership you'll ever make.
Risk & ambiguity tolerance
One founder wants to move fast, the other wants more data. The report quantifies these differences so you can divide decisions by strength, not by volume.
Conflict style
How each of you handles disagreement, processes criticism, and updates beliefs. The meta-thinking dimensions predict whether your arguments will be productive or destructive.
Cognitive complementarity
The best co-founder pairs aren't identical — they're complementary. The report shows where your differences are assets and where they need guardrails.

Frequently asked questions
Why do co-founders need this?
Co-founder conflict is the #1 reason startups fail. Most of those conflicts aren't about strategy — they're about values, risk tolerance, and how each person handles disagreement. Opinion DNA maps these dimensions before they become existential problems.
How is this different from the Couples Report?
The underlying assessment is the same 48 dimensions, but the co-founder context surfaces different insights. Business partnerships are shaped more by risk tolerance, need for cognition, conscientiousness, and authority orientation than by the dimensions that drive romantic relationships.
Can we use this for potential co-founders we haven't committed to yet?
Absolutely — that's one of the best use cases. Each person takes their own assessment, then you generate a comparison. It's a low-cost way to pressure-test alignment before making a multi-year commitment.
Does it work for more than two co-founders?
Yes. You can compare across any number of co-founders. The report shows pairwise comparisons and group-level patterns for teams of three or more.
What does the comparison show?
A dimension-by-dimension comparison showing where you align and where you diverge, with context on what each difference means in a business partnership. It also highlights the meta-thinking dimensions that predict how you'll handle disagreement under pressure.
