> A couple of other things that make it work: the CEO has sales skills, and does not have much of an ego and is willing to listen to someone who has been through all of this multiple times.

Yeah! You definitely need to have a good CEO as a partner. A bad CEO is worse than no partner at all.

Those are some great attributes of what makes a good CEO and partner.

I have hardly come across aspiring-CEOs who do not have much ego and listen to other founders, let alone founders or serial-founders. After some founder dating last year, I am a bit jaded, though.
