Successful cofounding efforts often rely on the ability to work harmoniously, leverage each other's strengths, and make collective decisions that advance the shared objectives. Cofounding is a critical phase in the lifecycle of a new venture and sets the foundation for its future growth and development.

Etymology of COFOUND
The word cofound comes from the combination of the prefix co- meaning together or with, and the verb found, which means to establish or to create. Found itself comes from the Old French word fondre, meaning to melt or to cast, which later developed the sense of establishing something on a solid base. The addition of the prefix co- creates the meaning of establishing or creating something together with someone else, thus forming the word cofound.
