Solo Founder here. Great article. I wish I'd been more focused on cultivating co-founder relationships over the past 5-10 years, but I'd have to time-travel and give myself that advice. I had no clue I'd wind up founding a company! Here are some support resources that've helped me: - Mastermind groups - Growing a community Discord (almost 250 people) - Volunteering to organize industry events, like Women in 3D Printing. Recruiting is a very important skill for a VC-backed founder, so I understand why few VCs are interested in backing a solo founder. My plan is to de-risk for institutional investors by raising a pre-seed round, 25k x 6 angels for 150k@2M. Combined with revenue, that's enough to hire a founding engineer and add another line of business to my product.
