- dangrover 18y agoI agree whole-heartedly with that statement. However, I've seen quite a few startups funded by YC and other incubators break up because one guy thought he had to have a token co-founder and that person wasn't ultimately into it. So I wonder if this sort of attitude is a good thing, or if it just means "If you're a single founder, get someone to apply with you so you get in."
- pg 18y agoThat is definitely a problem. I'm not sure what to do about it. Would those startups have done any better without the extra founder? Maybe, maybe not. We need more data.
