Starting a studio with someone else can sound like the obvious move, but do you actually need a co-founder? Rob Carroll, CEO of Roll Craft, joined us on the IndieGameBusiness Podcast to talk about what a co-founder can bring to a company and why choosing the right person matters so much.
A great co-founder can complement your weaknesses, share the workload, and help push the studio forward. But bringing someone into that role just because you feel like you need one can create much bigger problems later.
