2 founders are not always better than 1

[andrewsyc]

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.

There are a few threads on here warning of the unfavorable outcomes of a multi partnered business.

Came across this and wanted to post it for everyone for confirmation bias

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

2 founders are not always better than 1 | MIT Sloan

Team superiority is a myth.

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.”
