I'm a solo founder. I dropped out of Stanford, made $180k through past projects, and whenever I worked with co-founders my projects have failed.

It's a common narrative that it's harder to be more successful as a solo founder. I don't agree because actually 66% of startups fail because of cofounder conflicts. Also startups with single founders tended to last longer and eventually achieve higher revenue (52% startups with succesful exits is solo founded). So if you are a solo founder, your risk of failing goes down significantly.

As for having someone to share your struggles, I joined this solo-ish founders community called https://FoundersCafe.io and they are bascially my co-founders without any of the drama.

I also hired out all the skillsets I lack.

Being a solo founder is fucking awesome as long as you have your needs met (emotional support + skill gaps)

As someone on this forum once said, "cofounders either push you forward or drag you down."

Most often than not, they drag you down when incentives don't align.
