I've had successful exits founding companies in all three ways (solo, with one co-founder, and with two co-founders) and from my experience having two co-founders has been the best experience. One co-founder means you get a bigger slice of the pie, but also means that there's no mediator if the two of you can't agree. And take it from me, there will be many times when you don't agree. That's why I prefer two co-founders, because when two people take a side they're often able to convince the third member.

- p01nd3xt3r 17y agoI have all of those skills and I have been looking for a co-founder that does also. Perhaps I should just focus on a co-founder that has one of the aforementioned talents.
- olefoo 17y agoYou have all of those skills? Are you sure? Try to identify where you are weakest, and find someone who is stronger than you in that area. You need to be ruthlessly honest with yourself about your own abilities because if you're doing it right you will be pushing your limits even if you're good.
- p01nd3xt3r 17y agoWell... I am only a master @ the tech stuff but i am competent at the others.
- spencerfry 17y agoYou should focus on tech then and find a co-founder who focuses on either of the other two areas I mentioned.
