It's better to have no cofounder than to have a bad cofounder, but it's still bad to be a solo founder.

The best source by far for hiring is people that you already know and people that other employees in the company already know.

You think you have this great idea that everyone's going to come join, but that's not how it works.

It takes years and years, usually a decade, to create a great startup.

Why couldn't it have been done 2 years ago, and why will 2 years in the future be too late?

Why now, why is this the perfect time for this particular idea, and to start this particular company?

One thing that founders forget is that after they hire employees, they have to retain them.
