I think when it comes to building software, most of us will need a co-founder. It's incredibly demanding and requires a spectrum of skills that are rarely encompassed in a solo person.

Granted, if you would rather hire an employee, that's a good option too. It's less risky, in the sense that you're not "getting married" to someone for a long time. For bootstrappers, it can be harder, because you'll need to have a way of paying someone when you're cash poor.

If you're bootstrapping a software company, and you'd rather be a solopreneur than have a co-founder, then getting funding from someone like
@earnestcapital,@tinyseedfund, or@indievc might be a good option to help you hire someone instead.Pokaż ten wątek -

But research is starting to challenge this assumption: - companies started by solo founders survive longer than those started by teams - organizations started by solo founders generate more revenue - and do not perform different than larger teams https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3107898 …pic.twitter.com/RsYVyl8KCO

We do know that: Solo founder + employees > Solo founder (for obvious reasons)

A bad co-founder is more common, and is the fastest way to kill your business.

Probably tricky to quantify that. I think "wrong people" is a common reason companies die though (whether that's a bad hire or a bad co-founder).pic.twitter.com/U6O4QursiE
