Most businesses start with a group of dedicated people identifying a problem, coming up with a solution and then figuring out how to share their solution with the world. Launching a business takes vision, vulnerability, grit, agility, and trust, as well as plenty of coffee. It’s not easy. Which is why people start businesses with colleagues, friends and family—those with whom they share a bond.
