Founders

I think my single greatest regret / learning from being a first-time founder, is doing it solo.

If I ever decide to start a new company or run a business, I would want 1 or maybe 2 co-founders.

Anyone else feel the same way?

Absolutely you should not go it alone. Numbers also support that you’re more likely to be successful as a team over solo founder. 
That being said you really need to choose your team carefully. Something you probably will only learn with experience and still get wrong.

Not true: solo founder companies are more likely to succeed, ironically in spite of investors’ conviction that there should be cofounders:

Interesting. Thanks for this. Wondering which of these solo founder companies are lifestyle companies vs venture cases. It matters quite a bit to compare categories of startups. Ie is the companies that succeed as solo founders also venture cases or smaller businesses. The article doesn’t go into that detail.
