In a pre-coherence team, it's more important to select for people who believe in the vision.

In a post-coherence team, it's more about "is this someone I can work together well with"--which often comes down to someone you've had a good experience working with in the past.^[aip]

But pre-coherence (e.g. a pre-PMF seed stage startup) "liking working with each other" is secondary. What's primary is "we all believe in the same big vision and find it deeply motivating."

Because you'll need to crawl through broken glass together.

That's only going to work if everyone really cares about what's on the other side.

Love of your fellow crawlers doesn't get you to crawl through broken glass, the prize at the end does.

People who love the vision and are committed to crawling through glass to do it, will come to love each other.

But people who love each other who are crawling through broken glass for a thing they don't care about will just get frustrated and angry.
