You don’t need a team

As a solo founder, I started off by breaking one of the cardinal VC rules that says you can’t build a successful startup on your own. Never mind the research that says solo-founded companies are twice as likely to become profitable as companies with multiple founders. No, what this rule really means is that VC firms will not fund startups with just one founder.

This is because VCs don’t just care about if you can get things done. Seeing multiple co-founders shows a VC that this person can sell their vision to other people and it gives the VC insurance in case one of the founders burns out.
