I think the last part is what really scares investors / incubators / etc. when it comes to single cofounders... "Fighting alone is not easy" but if you have the experience, vision, etc. it's still possible to pull off. At least that's what I tell myself.

It sounds like you moved from a tech co-founder to a biz / tech founder. Is this a fair summary? Would be curious to hear more!

I doubled majored in ComSci and Economics so I'm a little bit of both. Tech is definitely the half that I enjoy more.

There are a lot of good resources about the biz side of things for consumer internet startups, so learning about that has not been too difficult.

However, I do try to hire more out-going people to complement me. IE, I push my team to connect with people at meetups more than I push myself :P

There are talented people out there and I've found it is possible to recruit those who complement me without making everyone co-founders.

Once the startup has gotten some traction, recruiting and everything else get easier. If you have a tech background yourself, you may not need co-founders to get to that stage.

I always thought it was easier for tech-focused founders because of this. I feel like learning the business side is easier than the tech side, but I imagine this is a function of the type of person I am.

Thanks for the positive response!
