I think there are (at least) two parameters needing concrete definition: 1) What is success? 2) What's the ratio of solo startups that achieve the level defined in 1).
As has been mentioned, either an exit of a few million or a stream of a million of profit a year for a couple of years are more than enough to many potential founders.
That's the parameter I'm missing when you say cofounders are necessary. Necessary to achieve what, exactly?
- ryancarson 14y agoI agree. It'd be awesome if PG would release the data they have on the outcomes of YC companies. There would be a lot we could all learn from it. This would also allow everyone to come to their own conclusions.
- rdl 14y agoThe #1 piece of data I wish pg would release is a comprehensive (if anonymous) survey of every YC founder "would you do YC again?" and the related "would you recommend YC to a friend doing a startup?". (although as a control, "If you were doing another startup, and couldn't get into YC again for that business, would you still go ahead with it?")
