I am sorry. I think this is a dumb idea that will set you up for failure.
This makes one person the bottleneck, and the startup very rigid and inflexible.
Just go get a real team, convince great coders of your idea--people you can trust--and share everything with each other.
Its hard enough to do a startup as it is.
- eisokant 18y agoThank you for your comment. For me it's only temporary to get a foundation ready - the startup itself will have a full team. Am doing this to give myself time to continue to talk to possible investors and decide where I want to locate.

Being in the same place, at the same time, and working closely together with people you respect and trust is essential to creating a fast moving startup less likely to die or stagnate. There are reasons why the most successful ones were two guys in a garage.
- eisokant 18y agoThank you - I absolutely agree. It's also the reason why I am considering moving out to SF or India. I haven't been able to find that team yet here in The Netherlands and I think that if I am in a place where technology is booming I have a much larger pond to fish in.
