I'd recommend getting a co-founder. Not bc the incubator is asking for it..but because it's better for you. The reason investors ask that you have a co-founder is because your chances of success truly are much higher if you're working with someone.

I can say with pretty much complete confidence that I would not be able to do a start-up without a co-founder. Dealing with the emotional swings, coming up with ideas together, brainstorming, sharing the burden... It's worth the investment of time to find someone good.
