A six-week cofounder standoff, three failed coffees, then a five-paragraph email that ended it in an afternoon. Why writing beats talking it out.

Every cofounder split has a moment a year earlier when the honest talk could have happened. Avoidance feels like protection. It's the slow death.

Sixty-forty in year one, each cofounder doing half the work. The forty-percent cofounder noticed in year three, and the relationship never recovered.

You've been rehearsing it in the shower for nine months. The longer you wait, the more expensive the silence gets.
