Rule 5: Work with People You Trust

Tim Choi, Voltage Security

The people involved in the company early on should be people you like and trust. Conflict within a team is one of the main sources of startup failure, so having a common vision and common expectations are a critical component for success. A successful team is dedicated to the common goal and trusts each other in its pursuit.
