Online Talkshow: Build the Right Founder Team – From Day One
Live from Odense – hosted by Odense Robotics Startup Fund
In robotics and deeptech startups, the founder team is often the deciding factor between success, scale – or early failure. In this talkshow, we explore why early team formation matters, how to choose the right co-founder, and what investors look for in a strong founding team.
In this online talkshow we dive into:
-
Why early team composition shapes direction, culture, and investor interest
-
Why it’s difficult – and costly – to add a co-founder later
-
How to find co-founders with true “founder quality”
-
What makes a balanced robotics team with both technical and commercial strengths
Real insights from founder and investor perspectives
