Having built a product, I'll also add that early on it's not just about finding someone you can work well with, they also need to believe in the product and bring some level of passion for it to the table.
I can work well with any number of people, but few understand the importance of things like audience building, using the product on a daily basis, etc., and even the ones that do might not act on that stuff. Overall passion for execution and moving the product forward are critical.
Maybe this is what you meant, but I wanted to add my 2 cents to clarify.
It's absolutely what I meant. I'm not actively looking to start a company or product right now, but I've wondered how more introverted people form those relationships with just the right people.
I'm curious if it usually happens naturally or if there's a lot of people that find cofounders after building the initial product.
Just like product design, I've found it sometimes takes months and years to find the right team, and sometimes it just happens. Lots of luck in business, especially when it comes to building teams.
