I don't understand why people feel the need to have a co-founder. I don't think there's anything wrong with setting up your own company and then employing some other people to fill in any skills gap that you feel you might have. Personally I've always found it easier on my own... I make the decisions (for good or bad) after consulting with people, but there are never any issues or deadlocks where decisions can't be made because its down to me ultimately. Why do you feel you need a co-founder? Just curious and not wishing to start another thread on the merits either way
- ph0rque 19y agoI don't know about Dave, the author of this post, but I am in a position where I'm developing my web app while learning RoR and programming in general. I feel I could go 3 to 10 times faster if I had a co-founder with RoR and programming experience better than what I have. Hiring someone right now is out of the question, due to my financial situation.
- daveungerer 19y agoYou know what they say... if you can get at least one person to believe in your crazy idea, it might just work. The other reason is that I'm still working full-time. Finding someone to work with would be a good catalyst for quitting my job. Then again, my future co-founder might be right here under my nose. But you raised a good point and I've recently started considering going it alone
