Being an entrepreneur is a tough business. My own experience is that it is even tougher if you have no co-Founders. It is really true that it takes two pieces of wood to sustain a fire and perhaps even a third to light the fire. One of my favorite scenes from my collection of Woody Allen movies is the one where after sex, his date compliments him on how great a lover he is. Allen smiled with confidence and uttered, "I practice a lot when I am alone." Very often, as entrepreneurs, we prefer to practice alone and to execute alone. We will do everything and anything possible to avoid confronting our worst nightmare which is to get in bed with the wrong people. Our excuse is that we are not ready. Our business plan is not ready. Our elevator pitch is not ready. Our prototype is not ready, etc. Having partners allow you to diversify your gene pool and having partners allow you to try different positions. It is true in love as in building companies. It is a scary world out there but you must take a leap and share your dream with someone. Good luck everyone.
