Notes on finding your team
Practical guides on finding cofounders, checking compatibility, and building teams that actually work together.
Daily Horoscope vs Daily Vibe
A horoscope sorts everyone into twelve groups. A Daily Vibe reads today's transits against your own chart — and on a quiet day it says nothing is pulling on you, instead of filling the box.
How to Find Your Rising Sign
Sun needs a date. Moon needs a date. Rising needs the hour — it changes roughly every two hours, so an hour of error moves you a whole sign. How to find it, and what to do when nobody wrote the time down.
Your Moon Sign at Work
Almost everyone knows their Sun sign and almost nobody knows their Moon. At work it is the other way round — how to find yours, and what all twelve do when a deadline lands.
Astrology Compatibility, Applied to Work
Compatibility charts are built for dating and read the Sun. Half of what they measure transfers to work and half does not — element tells you how it feels, mode tells you how it moves.
Which ORVIT Types Clash
There is no table of good matches here, because nobody has earned the right to publish one. What a pairing does predict is where the argument will be — and why two people at the same end are the quieter risk.
Vesting and Cliffs, Explained
Four years, one-year cliff — the schedule is the easy part. The money is in the four moments it does not cover: a departure at month eleven, a removal, an early acquisition, a role that quietly shrinks.
Red Flags Before You Commit
The scary number everyone quotes is not what the research says. Character is a weak predictor — five behavioural signals show up before a cofounder relationship fails, and you can stage all five in three weeks.
How to Split Cofounder Equity
73% of founding teams set the number in their first month, when they know the least. Harvard calls it the first mistake; Y Combinator says split it evenly anyway. Both prescribe the same fix.
Work Styles That Clash
Different working styles are not the problem. Undeclared defaults are. The five axes that actually cause friction, and what Google found when it looked for the right mix of people.
7 Signs of Cofounder Conflict
Conflict rarely starts as an argument. It starts as a decision made twice, a partner who stopped disagreeing, and a record you began keeping without deciding to. Which two cannot wait.
ORVIT Type vs MBTI for Teams
MBTI was not built to score a pair, and its publisher says not to use it for hiring or for team selection. What it measures, where it breaks down, and what an ORVIT Type measures instead.
What Is an ORVIT Type?
Rising sign times Moon sign makes 144 work-style profiles. How it is calculated, what the five lenses read, and what it cannot tell you.
How to Find a Cofounder
Where founders actually meet, what to screen for before you invest real time, and how to run a two-week trial before you commit.
30 Questions to Ask a Potential Cofounder
Thirty questions on pace, decisions, conflict, money, and commitment — with why each one matters, when to ask it, and how to read the answer.
Cofounder Compatibility: What to Check Before You Commit
Most startups fail on the founding team, not the idea. A practical checklist of what to check with a cofounder before you commit.
