Most founder relationships fail in the first month—not because of skill gaps, but because nobody wrote down what working together actually means.
Olivia started StartCoLink after two cofounder attempts where the chemistry was fine in coffee chats and fell apart once real product decisions landed. She kept meeting strong builders who wanted fewer performative intros and more honest early conversations.
Her work sits at the intersection of product and community design. She runs weekly office hours for founders stuck between we should talk more and let's actually split equity. Those sessions shaped how StartCoLink handles intent signals and intro follow-ups.
Outside the product, she writes short notes on founder fit—especially how to test collaboration before anyone opens a pitch deck.
