Its good to hear from another single founder. I'm at a stage now where I have a product running and I'm looking to grow and/or seek VC help.

What puts me off is the fact that they are less interested if you do not have a co-founder. But surely I should be in a good position if my site is already monetizing itself??? It means that my business model is working.

@infogaufire, how did you manage accounting and marketing? Did you delegate that too?

I would love to hear about this too. One of my other biggest challenges, as a tech guy, has been figuring out how to go about all the non-tech stuff.

I actually managed that myself for sometime. Accounting can easily be managed if you can dedicate just one night on building a simple app for that with even a bad UI. All you have to do is: 1. Create a table Money with id, name, money, credit/debit (1 or 0), date&time 2. Create a form to enter these values

Below the form, just print values from database order by date&time

This simple thing will take you very long - believe me. Its that easy.

For marketing @ very early stage, you just have to be a hustler. This is something what I do whenever I float some random new project (just posted this comment on HN) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5836395

Exactly how I feel. I've coded like a headless chicken for the last 9 months, its what I enjoy and what I'm good at.

When I show the product to VC's and tell them I need help with marketing, accounting, establishing as a [already profitable] company. They brush me off and almost laugh. "Thats the easy stuff" they say.
