Well, I think it depends on what those 2-3 bad moves are... I don't think its that tenuous-- when you're self funded. ( When you take outside investment, at least in the US, its a situation where you take a lot more risk...)
I'm glad you and your co-founder have a good relationship. Nothing wrong with that at all!

Why is this post is at -3? It may be a little rough (non-native English presumably) but it's totally on topic and not spammy.

I think the word visionary set against "not an implementor" may worry a lot of the people here. How many of you trust MBAs?

because a consulting company doing outsourced work at hourly rates is not what most people here mean by "startup". If that were so Bangalore has thousands of "startups".
Having said that, I think we should still focus on the point he makes.
when you are a very small startup, and self funded, you just need to make 2-3 bad moves to go into bankruptcy and closure.
Startups have its Eureka moments and frustrating times
I consider myself more of a visionary than a implementer, I get into high energy mode in short bursts, but my partner keeps our company sane.
I find my co-Founder a great stress buster for me.
