If you can do all the business planning, hiring, technical work, and fund raising you don't need a partner. Sometimes follow on successful founders pull this off. I suggest a partner for a first go of it, and the only way you'll find that person is if you keep sharing your idea (risky yes, necessary I think so).
- whalesalad 17y agoI honestly think that I can.. but I feel like things would be so much better if I had a partner to help. I tend to work "lone wolf" because I've had interesting experiences in my past with others. I feel like a company (or at least a small team) can be birthed from this. I definitely enjoy sharing the idea and getting feedback. It's a double edged sword. I applied to this past YC with a friend (on his idea, not mine) and made it to the interview stage. I'm kicking myself for not submitting this idea (although, it wasn't even close to this mature, then), because I am convinced that something like YC would be the exact bit of inertia necessary to push this thing straight into a hail mary.
