This comment is needlessly harsh on the article. I read this much more as why not consider the opposite view. One of my frustrations with the advice YC and others seem to give is that it is all hearsay and I don’t believe it needs to be that way. Especially for an organisation that prides itself on being scientifically lead there must be a way to show data around most of their claims. The whole point of the scientific method is trying to prevent people from guessing from their perceived experiences because we so easily fool ourselves into believing without the statistical proof to back it up. This article is also not purely true, I’m certain there are cofounders that work perfectly together and people who are better at selecting them for themselves. I think the stuff about handling high stress situations is very useful and testing that somehow seems like a good idea. I’m not sure how many difficult situations I’ve had with my best friend to be honest, let alone a stranger. I find it really surprising that a solo cofounder is more likely to succeed. Can anyone refute or confirm this?
