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: https://www.inc.com/minda-zetlin/solo-founders-entrepreneurs-success-nyu-wharton-research.html

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.

Also in terms of the largest successes which businesses in history where started by solo founders compared to teams. Jeff Bezos probably being the biggest solo founder success in recent times.
