Misleading title. The story had more to do with the fact that the founder is inexperienced and thought he can do it all, not the fact that he is one person. 5 inexperienced founders also can get nowhere. Flip side, one repeat founder can create a great MVP in a month by locking himself in a closet. Perhaps the blogger is also inexperienced at writing articles
- mindcrime 16y agoone repeat founder can create a great MVP in a month by locking himself in a closet. But can he create a startup by himself? A viable one? Sure, he's got a better chance if it's his 2nd or 3rd or nth time around... but even so, you have to have feedback at some point... you probably can't literally (except in rare cases) be a true "one person startup." Even if the other people aren't founders there are still most likely going to be other people involved.

- Aegean 16y agoI was going to say the same thing. Its not about being a single founder, its about experience. I knew what to do when I started my startup. The people I employ ask me questions. Its all because I have spent considerable time learning my skills beforehand.
- arihant 16y agoEh? The first version of Facebook was created by an undergraduate in 2 weeks. Web startups are just websites, people just blow things out of proportion. You're not working on the Manhattan project, just a website. In one month in closet, people can create their own OS. In fact, best CS programs force you to.
