Re:The importance of co-founder due diligence on Thursday February 13, 2014 @01:41PM (#7233204)
If you can build it (ie if you're a techy), stop looking for a co-founder. I've seen early stage startup's team shatter due to co-founder breakups, including mine. I saw my first 4 startup die, because I either couldn't stand my co-founders or we just didn't have complementary skills.

Don't force getting a co-founder. Instead, LEARN TO CROWDSOURCE YOUR TEAM. Have as many 'advisors' as you can in as many areas as you can. They are your 'team'. They don't do the work for you, but they guide you. Hire the rest or do it yourself.

With a team, you risk having constant fights and eventually breakups. It HURTS. Your startup can't afford it. Solo, you face an attrition war, as it takes you more time to build it. Its survival of the toughest, and if you have what it takes to survive, you will make it.

I base this on the fact that I've been solo founder and bootstrapping Beepl (http://beeplapp.com/) for the past 7 months. I don't have to deal with other people's drama. I face my own depression and that's something that I can solve easily.

Open source it. There is more value in it. You'll attract devs who want to use it and give back to it.
