I agree, with technology becoming so simple to use these days, it empowers people to do a lot more than they were able to do in the 80s. On the other hand, I feel that as the cost of creating a company decreases, and as more younger people learn about entrepreneurship, more of them are getting interested in creating stuff at an early age.

varun43in··on What We Look for in Founders
I'm currently the only founder for my startup and have a CS/Engineering background. I find that almost everybody I talk to seem to think its crazy or impossible for a single person startup to succeed.

I wonder what the whole deal is about: - is it because they feel its too much work for one person? - they assume that one person cannot be motivated/determined enough to make a startup successful? - or is it just based on the fact that most of the successful startup were stared by 2-3 person teams..

I'm curious to hear your thoughts on this guys..
