Early-stage hiring

TLDR

There are ways that you can assess whether or not your likelihood of success as a founder will increase with a cofounder by your side. To reroute the question: it’s not whether every startup needs a cofounder, but what specifically will work best for you and your startup.

One of the first questions that may come up for you when you’re in the midst of thinking through your startup idea, trying to figure out exactly how all the pieces are going to come together, is: Do I need a cofounder? In other words: Can I do this myself?
