You don't have time and money problem. You have priorities problem. You do have time, you just choose to spend it on things other than turning your ideas into products (for one, you're reading Hacker News). You claim that some of those projects could be done by 2 people in 3-6 weeks. So 1 person (e.g. you) could do it in 6-12 weeks. Guess what, I've been working on my side project, on and off, for 4 years. I have exactly the same amount of hours in a day and a full-time job. If you can't muster the energy and will power to sacrifice your other time consuming activities and focus for 3 months on finishing something, then no amount of additional time will help you. You're just not made for this game. If you can't convince yourself that your "very good ideas" are worth a little bit of sacrifice to finish them, then why should anyone else believe that? Why would any investor believe that?

> You claim that some of those projects could be done by 2 people in 3-6 weeks. So 1 person (e.g. you) could do it in 6-12 weeks. And 9 women can give birth to 1 baby in 1 month. I agree that prioritizing is important, but there is a lot more to morale and motivation than that. In my experience, having someone to work with is one of the key motivators. Prioritizing becomes easy after you are in it with someone else.

  Having started three businesses with partners and now going solo I can say that this is not true. Surely, a partner can help you out when you're in an emotional pit, but it doesn't mean you need a partner. The most healthy relationships are the ones that consist of people who don't have problems with themselves. As for myself - I wouldn't start a business with anybody who has motivation problems. Sorry.
