> But as YC’s success indicates, there have been many hypothetical billion-dollar companies that didn’t come into existence because the founders never got the right introductions. Your takeaway from this should be that if you’re very ambitious, the biggest risk you can take is to be a loner.

- barry-cotter 7y agoYou can’t know but you can make inferences. If you are trying to do something big and risky you should be focusing on the reason you think it will work, making a big bet on your reason for being, your core competency. Everything else you follow best practice or buy in best practice. The more ways you’re weird the more ways there are to fail. Be weird in the ways you are very confident in. Going it alone does not seem to be the way most people win big so unless you have excellent reason to think you’re different don’t go it alone.
