So I decided to be a sole founder, which may or may not have been the absolutely best decision, but that's my decision. The trade-off for this is you're a one-man army until your company grows. If you fail, if you get sick, if you just somehow miss the mark, then it's on you. And the upside is also quite obvious. If things are going well, you will also benefit from this.
