I don't see the point of having cofounders in that case. If it's really just a bunch of guys hacking away at stuff, you might as well just hire them. I admit I'm on the fence about the whole "you have to have a cofounder" thing to begin with - my own experience with having a cofounder hasn't been that great (it's not his fault, or mine, it was just a bad dynamic in general). > a bunch of dudes sitting around trying to solve a problem is the best way to start I totally agree. Without a great and creative team you're screwed. This article isn't about those aspects, though, isn't it? It's about what else a cofounder should bring to the table that moves the company forward.
