Spencer might not agree, but why not go at it alone until you find the right person? If you're driven enough to start your own company in a space you know a lot

Spencer might not agree, but why not go at it alone until you find the right person? If you're driven enough to start your own company in a space you know a lot about, you should be driven enough to do so alone, at least temporarily.
- aaronblohowiak 17y agoFew people are truly lone wolves. If you have a spouse you can lean on for a while, this may be doable.
- vaksel 17y agoI think with the internet it doesn't apply as much. You can do the lone wolf thing, and then just come post on HN or some other community site to get your feel of human interaction
- awolf 17y agoI certainly plan to wait until I find someone that seems like a good fit. But once I get past "developer-heavy" phase of building a prototype I'm going to need someone to help grow my company- and quick. At that point it seems far-fetched that the "perfect" partner will materialize. I may have to settle for merely "good". Perhaps I'll make it past the point of needing a cofounder at all and will instead be able to go directly into hiring salaried employees. Of course, getting this far on my own would also be pretty lucky.
