You don't need a Co-Founder - Just Do It

While the narrative plays well, I just wonder if the data really does support your hypothesis. I say that as a solo founder.<p>I can definitely think of times where I wish I had a cofounder and how helpful it would be to have someone there, dedicated to working on the company's problems and issues. My mom, while an amazing woman who would go to the end of the earth to help me in any way she could, just can't do many of things I need to do to launch a software company.<p>And beyond her, nobody else is committed enough to me or the company to go to the length I would expect from a cofounder.

You also do not, strictly speaking, need a utensil to eat spaghetti. But it works better, if you find the right utensil.

The title of the article is correct, the content doesn't really do the title justice.<p>You don't NEED a co-founder. If you have one, great, get going.<p>If you don't have one, great. Just do it, get to work, build your dream.

For some people the whole experience is just more fun and interesting if you have someone else with you to share it with.

Bit of shame to see a potentially entertaining opinion piece marred by female care-giver stereotypes.
