Two Peas in a Pod: Making Co-CEOs Work
summary
Two founders run Enfuce as co-CEOs and credit 110% trust plus constant messaging (dozens of WhatsApps during investor days) for speed: they doubled investor meetings, closed a Series C, and won Vitruvian’s backing after investors saw the dynamic. They pair complementary roles (tech/vision vs structure/planning), use a mental culture coach to accelerate mutual understanding, hold a daily 8:15 prioritization ritual and quarterly deep sessions, split legal liability across entities because Finnish law won’t recognize co-CEOs, and advise clear shareholder agreements.
