Today, we’re talking about continuing to build while searching for a co-founder.
This is important for a few reasons.
- First, you don’t know how long it will take to find someone. If we’re holding off on making progress while searching for a co-founder, we may kill the business by waiting.
- Second, you need to create the impression of momentum. When you meet a great co-founder candidate, you would ideally want them to feel this is a great opportunity but also only available for a limited time. That comes from continued progress. They simply must buy a ticket now, as the train is leaving the station.
- Lastly, it is ok to delay fundraising while you’re looking for a co-founder. Many investors, including myself, will almost automatically discount a solo founder, so you may have better luck with a more complete team.
Best of luck out there.
