My hat is off to you and you make a good point that you can act autonomously and you didn't waste time searching for a co-founder.
While going solo does have these benefits, I personally think that lasts only so long before you start to miss out on the benefits of having a co-founder working along side you. You will fight, argue, and yell at each other for sure, but you'll also collaborate, pick up each others spirits when times are tough, and have a more diverse set of skills that pack your startup's talent portfolio.
In general, if you can start out working alone and get as much done as you have, then by all means do it; but I'd be on the look out for someone that compliments you and can help propel your company forward that much faster. Don't force the connection, but don't take the mind set that "I've come this far alone, I don't need anyone else" either.

- rgrieselhuber 16y agoThat's one thing that I think needs to be explained a little better. I'm always open to working with somebody else and will be hiring at some point. The point is that by deciding to just do it on your own if you don't have a co-founder is you remove a factor that you have little control over anyway and can focus on things you can control.
