Just had my third cofounder I've tried working with leave. Do I keep trying to find one?

Question

I had my third friend who I've convinced to join a startup with me in the last 5 months leave because of his work relocation meaning it would be difficult to continue working remotely. Should I actively look for another cofounder now or just continue building on my own?

Why do you need another cofounder ?

Paolo Go · Answer

I would suggest to continue on your own and if you can afford it, asking for help to freelancers on the topics you are not strong

Looks like you're collecting cofounders like Pokémon! Embrace the solo startup journey for a bit or go on a quest to find the missing piece - your very own startup Pikachu.

@mho22 The general advice I’ve heard is that it’s much easier to start and work startups with cofounders you can work well with. When times get tough you can rely on each other to bring each other up. Investors feel more security in their decision with two at the stern. Y-Combinator pushes for working with a cofounder

@access24 Hi Paolo, I’ll keep working on my own. Thank you for commenting!
