single founder comment is complete rubbish. If someone has the drive and ability then why shouldn't do it. Saying that just because they couldn't talk any of their friends into joining them is so small minded. I have lots of friends but none of them are techie and or interested in startups so does that mean I shouldn't have started my business because none of them are into it? I know Paul has a cult following around here but he really does seem to think everyone doing tech startups are collage grads.
- marcus 19y agoI agree some projects are great fits for single founders but you should be able to convince at least one rational person this is a good idea and is worth investing the time, energy, money into. It doesn't matter if that person is your spouse, a co-founder, an angel - but make sure at least one person whose opinion you respect and has something to lose if you fail/waste your time thinks this is a good idea.
- DarrenStuart 19y agototally, people can give you feedback on ideas. If its too big for you at that time store it until you have made some contacts that can help you do it or have the money to hire the skills needed. I work this way.

Answer: Not good. Obviously, I don't live near Stanford, but most people don't either...and it would be insane to pair up with people for the sake of pairing.
