Business PlanningFoundationalDecision

Solo or Cofounder?

Decide whether to build alone or bring on a cofounder — what you actually need, what half your company costs, and what the right plan looks like either way.

What you walk away with

A made decision — plus a shareable summary capturing what you chose, the reasoning behind it, what you ruled out, and what would make you revisit it. There's no document to build here: the thinking is the deliverable.

13 steps in the full journey.

The first 3 questions

This is where the conversation starts. Each answer shapes what gets asked next.

  1. 01What are you building, and where are you in the journey — idea, prototype, launched? What's prompting the cofounder question right now?
  2. 02What's your own background — which parts of building this can you personally do well (product, code, sales, domain expertise), and which feel out of reach?
  3. 03Have you built something alone before, or worked in a close partnership? How did each actually go?

+ 10 more questions across discovery, validation, and the creative brief — each one adapting to what you've already said.
