The entrance to the vicious circle is the product. If you are interested in talking with investors you will need to produce a successful product. This implies two things; you've successfully built the product, and you've successfully gained traction. There are some great products/businesses out there that were started and/or built by a solo founder. But the majority of them were started by teams of people. So if you are in a situation where you feel you don't have the skill-set to execute, then you either need to increase your skill-set (wear multiple hats), or build a team of co-founders. Regardless of how you go about it, one fact remains; you must build! My advice would be to start building the product now (to whatever capacity possible). Not only will you learn more about the product as you build it, you'll have something to present if you decide to find co-founders. Another reason to build as soon as possible; Often times you'll find that what you've envisioned as the product will change over time as you learn from your customer. The sooner you start that learning process, the better. Good luck!
