It's better to be a solo founder than to choose the wrong co-founder. The road is littered with startups that imploded because of the wrong co-founding team.

The best co-founders aren't those who just complement your areas of strength, but those whom you know well, and get along with best. That's why the most successful co-founding teams are made up of individuals who have a history together – often at college/university, or another startup. They know each other's temperament, risk tolerance, communication abilities and other critical factors.

Your own network of people is still the best place to start. From there, determine 'fit' – not skills – before anything else.

I'm happy to help you define your fit requirements further if you wanted to schedule a call. Good luck!
