It's not because startups require multiple different skills that it's a good idea to have cofounders. The main reason you need cofounders is to share the weight of doing something so hard.

Cofounders will often talk each other into being bolder than either would have been alone. This principle is way broader, and way older, than startups. This is hunting mammoths.

My 2 cents on the optimal number of cofounders. FWIW, as a solo founder I applied to YC and I think they would’ve taken me had I not objected to the terms of their investment (company already has $500k revenue). https://twitter.com/molson_hart/status/1213846553275842560?s=21 …https://twitter.com/Molson_Hart/status/1213846553275842560 …

I still maintain yc was wrong. So what happened, why don’t have a billion dollar company? When I didn’t get the YC investment, I pivoted away from a high risk high reward strategy to a lower reward with a higher chance of success, and succeeded.

I regret not shooting the moon, but things worked out fine. Still time to build a billion dollar company.
