Comment on What are the downsides of being a single founder (ie. not having a co-founder)?

Comments

my thoughts (I am still trying to succeed):

I am wondering whether news.YC is the worst place to look for a cofounder - everyone is into their own startup!

The problem with going solo is - if and when you achieve traction (users are the only thing that counts), then you will find people willing to join. But then, they will want amounts of equity that will appear unreasonable to you - because you invested so much sweat, toil, tears and brains - when no one believed in it.
