The irony of YC listing "Single Founder" as mistake #1 when some of the most successful tech companies were built by solo founders is pretty rich. Steve Jobs essentially ran Apple alone after Woz stepped back, Bezos was the driving force at Amazon, and Musk has effectively been a solo founder in multiple ventures. This perpetuates the myth that you need a co-founder just to check a box for investors. The reality is having a bad co-founder is infinitely worse than being solo. I've seen countless startups implode from founder conflicts that could have been avoided by just having one clear vision and direction.

Is it okay for me to be a solo founder? I have an idea but I am not able to build conviction to hire anyone as a co-founder yet. I think I can manage and scale things alone and I have people who can help me build my startup till a significant scale.

What matters to you having a right co-founder with complimentary skill sets? Find a co-founder if you have not yet, because doing alone for long time may be frustrating.
