Impact with Eddie Wilson

Thinking about teaming up with a co-founder or equity partner? In this no-fluff masterclass, Eddie Wilson breaks down why most partnerships fail and exactly how to build one that scales instead of sinks. You’ll learn the biggest red flags (undefined decision rights, uneven value/capital, no operating agreement/buy-sell, “visionary only” partners), when to partner for acceleration, not rescue, and the five non-negotiable boundaries that keep alliances healthy: mission first, clearly assigned roles, document everything, regular check-ins, and plan the exit before you start. Eddie also contrasts Buffett/Munger with Jobs/Wozniak to show how partnerships must evolve, or be restructured for scale.
