A startup CEO has three responsibilities: Acquire customers, recruit talent and maintain enough capital to pay the bills.

If you consider yourself unable or unwilling to do these three things, you will fail. The only exception to this is if you're a brilliant engineer or designer. In that case, the simple answer is you must find a co-founder who is comfortable taking on the three above responsibilities for your venture.

I speak from experience when I say that single founders often lack an ability to delegate and trust others, which is *generally* perceived to be a character flaw, not a character attribute.

If the reason you don't have time to find investors is because you're busy building product, there may be hope for you. But if you're not building the product, with this attitude you have zero hope of success. Anyone capable of raising money and recruiting a team will want to do so for their own idea, not someone else's.

I'd be happy to schedule a 15 minute call with you to see where you're at and give you candid feedback about what it will take for you to pursue this dream further, once I know the specifics of your personal situation.
