Co-conspirator 👏👏👏 Way cooler and way truer than a co-founder. This term captures the essence of starting a disruptive startup, emphasizing innovation and transforming future ideas into reality. It highlights the role in challenging the status quo and collaborating on groundbreaking initiatives. Mike is absolutely inspiring.
