It's generally the idea around here (at least from what I read) that being a solo entreprenuer is much much better than having a cofounder (excluding just investors) as
a person that is truly committed will just be able to move faster.

I know Y-Combinator and other sources argue for two cofounders, this reputable source has a contrary view:

From the article:
“companies started by solo founders survive longer than those started by teams.”
“When such disputes result in significant distractions from organizational development it becomes far from clear that a team is preferable to a solo founder.”
