Episode 30

Choosing a Co-Founder - Advice from Chris Harder

Today’s episode will be a very special one, as I will be joined by a dear friend and huge inspiration for me, Chris Harder. I've known Chris for fifteen years, and during that period, he has accomplished so much. Up until the recession, Chris worked for the largest bank in the world at the time. After leaving the banking industry, Chris looked to his wife, Lori, to be his business partner. Together, they've co-founded four multimillion-dollar companies and backed 16 successful start-ups. With his co-founder Matt, Chris has recently been working on his own venture, which will be a peer-to-peer lending software that launches in August of 2023. This app will positively change the way we will lend and borrow money.

Chris and I discuss co-founders in businesses. You will learn whether your business is ready for a co-founder and more importantly, how to find the right co-founder for you. As you may guess, finding the right co-founder is incredibly important for the success and longevity of your company and Chris knows all the right ways to make sure you find the right fit.

Jackie Koch

Hey, I’m Jackie Koch. I have over 15 years of experience prospecting talent and building teams for Fortune 500 companies, startups and small businesses in all types of industries.  Technically, I have an MBA from Concordia University, although I’d argue I learned more about growing and scaling a modern business over the last 5 years in the LA tech start up scene. There I built out recruiting and People Operations teams for high growth tech start ups. I love entrepreneurs and being one at heart, I started my own business during the pandemic. I’m the founder and CEO of People Principles where I help founders scale through fractional recruiting and people operations services.
