Task: Co-founder is the key to success

Required Question

Do you have a co-founder?

Yes
No

You may be a combination of the best programmer, the best designer, and the best businessman. However, we feel that starting a business is not only about skills, but also about execution. While we have seen many solo founders succeed, having a co-founder can really make things a lot easier. The reason why it's nice to have a co-founder is to compliment your skills, but most importantly to keep each other in check.

If you answered NO: That's okay too!, but consider finding one! Most of us are lazy. We've all promised ourselves to start yesterday or finish the new feature this week. Your co-founder's most important job is to keep you in check.
