This should be read by anyone with the drive to make their own future. I believe passionately in building strong relationships with as many people you can- but having someone that truly shares your type of drive is rare.

I think this article should be as useful to all you current co-founders, too, as a reminder of the elements to work toward in a genuinely symbiotic partnership.

Excellent advice.

Having a co-founder is better than going alone, but only if the person shares same values, passion, attitude to work etc. Instead of trying find this person (which is more difficult and takes more time outside the Valley) it's better start working on the idea by yourself while still keeping your eyes open for co-founder/1st employee.
