Question
I'm developing a new service about content analysis all by myself and being alone isn't the best environment in which to develop a business service.
2 people working together are always better because they share feedback, insights and find issues more quickly. From creating the MVP, collecting users data, choosing together towards which direction the development should be eventually focused on.
That's a workflow I'm eager to build but being a solopreneur would give me only a "limited set of elements" to develop my idea (knowledge, time, tools, etc.).
Long story short: how can I fully grow this project when I can't find a co-founder?
Answer
Been there, done that and got the t-shirt for it. One of the hardest thing is selling a dream & a promise to grow. And because we all have our own bad experiences alot of people tend to be scared away from this commitment. I think choosing a cofounder is sometimes harder than marriage, in essence it is probably a lifetime partnership but co founders and early stage teams are the most important part in starting your business.
Start by looking around you, start doing a background search for each person you think is a good potential to be your partner then go & pitch your idea to them with full enthusiasm to show them how much you care the more goals & relatable you are to their goals & current missions the better chance you will find the best suitable partner. Don't take anyone who will say yes, they gotta believe in the idea as much as you.
I wish I can help you if you can tell me more about what is your profile like & what kind of partner are you looking for. Wish you all the best and good luck for your project :)
