SYNERGY in your Startup Team

I have written a lot about the importance of a good team. Also how a team should be structured with regards to domain skills, business skills, tech skills and so on. There is another important way to look at the composition of a startup team.

An ideal startup team should consist of 2 people.

The Systematic Guy: One who is organized and is able to channelize the energy around in the right direction. He is generally involved in planning and the business planning decisions.

The Energy Guy: He is the guy who brings in the energy into the startup. He is constantly thinking 

of new ideas, innovating and bringing the zest into running the startup.

Together they are able to create SYstematic + eNERGY – SYNERGY. This synergy is value additive and is the force which drives the startup.
