I am not quite to full-time on ridewithgps, but it's so close I can see it. Just knowing that I will, in a matter of a couple months, have only one focus is enough to get me working like crazy to make it happen. Until then it's odd-jobs to make rent.

If there was a single founder instead of our team of three, we'd be at ramen profitability - a hazard of a larger bootstrapping team, however, it has huge benefits in ability to actually produce something.

Either that or you would still be developing, perhaps even given up and gone home
That's the other big benefit of having one or two other people there with you. You have your own cheerleading team - many times we have had conversations that get us re-psyched to tackle some hard problems that otherwise seemed daunting. Motivating myself would be hard without other people alongside me, giving up other social and business opportunities for what seems like a great idea.
