Quick overview
An entrepreneur has no fixed schedule. Between fundraising, clients and surprises, cancelled dates are common. The right partner is often the one who understands the pace without taking it personally.

The most common pitfalls
- Postponing “until the business is stable”: that moment rarely arrives on its own.
- Hiding your project for fear of intimidating: better to talk about it early.
- Juggling many chats without ever meeting anyone.
Share your real availability early and propose alternatives if something comes up: transparency avoids most frustrations.
