It's misleading to point out how startups worked in Bill Gates and Steve Jobs era. Then, it really took a team to build anything. The technology has improved drastically. 10 years ago, it requires millions of funding to start a web business. Today, a team of talented developers can build an impressive app in a weekend. Even marketing has become easier. With App Store, it's now possible to have apps distributed to millions of users over night. Yet, our assumption about startups stayed the same disregarding the change of context. Sure, even Steve Jobs had a cofounder. But then what would be the equivalent of building a PC in today’s age? And have that distributed to millions of users in that age? Take into account now it takes a beginner Rails developer 15 minutes to build a blogging app. If the cost of running a startup is going down as technology matures, then it really shouldn’t take a team to build a startup. It should take one guy with a vision, a few freelancers and/or interns. Solo founders are being discriminated against for all the bullshit reasons. Time has changed, technology has matured. It’s time to end it!
