Ask HN:你如何预防或解决联合创始人之间的冲突?

1作者: shunicorn9 个月前
我在科技行业(软件工程师)和咨询领域摸爬滚打了 15 年,其中大部分时间都待在早期创业公司。我自己也曾是创始人,经历过与联合创始人和朋友的分裂。我也亲眼目睹过其他公司因为联合创始人之间的冲突而倒闭。<p>我看到过一些数据,显示 65% 的高潜力初创公司因为联合创始人之间的紧张关系而失败。然而,据我所知,大多数孵化器和加速器并没有提供关于团队协作、决策制定或冲突预防的工具。<p>最近,一个前同事,他们是一个三人创始团队,告诉我他们正濒临解散。过去 5 年多来,我一直在教授和引导非暴力沟通(NVC)和冲突解决,所以我与他们一起工作了一个月。我们制定了沟通规范和争议解决流程。他们现在仍然在一起,并表示他们的沟通正在改善。<p>我开始认为,这类技能和流程真的可以帮助团队建立信任,并降低风险投资的风险。<p>我对您的经验很感兴趣: - 您见过哪些好的方法可以从一开始就防止冲突出现? - 当出现分歧时,什么方法对管理或解决它们有帮助? - 您是否见过孵化器、加速器或投资者在此领域提供任何支持? - 回顾过去,您早期有哪些盲点导致了后来的冲突或破裂? - 在冲突的核心,您认为真正发生了什么?您认为如果得到更多支持,这个问题可以解决吗?

I’ve been in tech (SWE) and consulting for 15 years, much of that in early-stage startups. I’m a founder myself and once had a fallout with a cofounder and friend. I’ve also seen other companies die because of cofounder conflict.<p>I’ve seen stats that say 65% of high-potential startups fail due to cofounder tension. Yet as far as I know, most incubators and accelerators don’t provide tools for alignment, decision-making, or conflict prevention.<p>Recently a former colleague in a 3-person founding team told me they were on the brink of breaking up. I’ve spent the last 5+ years teaching and facilitating Nonviolent Communication (NVC) and conflict resolution, so I worked with them for a month. We set up communication norms and a disagreement protocol. They’re still together and say their comms are improving.<p>I’m starting to think these kinds of skills and protocols could really help build trust within teams and de-risk venture investments.<p>I’m curious about your experiences: - Have you seen good ways to prevent conflict from surfacing in the first place? - When disagreements do come up, what has helped manage or resolve them? - Have you seen incubators, accelerators, or investors provide any support in this area? - Looking back, what blindspots did you have early on that led to conflict or rupture later? - At the core of the conflict, what do you think was really going on? Do you think it could have been worked out with more support?
