What title to give to a non-founder first person in company haha good one but @Brian suggested "marketing", it is not exact but seems to roughly fit, at the end of the day something more suitable would be Marketing. what do you think? |

What title to give to a non-founder first person in company hmm he is novice.. does not know coding, or much about startup tech or tech product development or software architecture.. basically his computer knowledge is that of an above-average user and NOT a tech lead. (i know what you are thinking, this is bad, i know, but) He studied about business in general and will be doing things like socializing with people, making contacts and everything a geek as myself would not do. (Except for business decisions, which will rest with me since he does not know much about how startups work.) |

As a single founder, is it worth the effort to add a new (novice) co-founder? hmm well i knew it would be an additional weight to pull but what i was really trying to figure out was if it is worth it if another founder can help me raise early capital (which is kind of an important investment IMO) with good angel or vc. |

As a single founder, is it worth the effort to add a new (novice) co-founder? Ok yes, i cannot find anything to disagree with. But as i said i am new to entrepreneurship so i need to get my head around what the investors really want. The response here seems to be clear enough. I think i will go it alone, for now, until i can find someone who really adds value to the company. TBH that was my gut feeling but reading everywhere that single founder companies are not very successful (and the fact that i cannot find any popular company with just one founder) confused me entirely, but this thread has cleared things up. Thanks! |

As a single founder, is it worth the effort to add a new (novice) co-founder? hmm i agree with most of what you say. But there's a deal. I say novice because he wont be able to help me but that does not mean i will have to mentor him immediately. I can pitch him about the idea and then continue my work. (I think i can do most of the engineering stuff myself) i don't need any help with the coding or business part. Instead that extra person will just be for investors who would otherwise be reluctant in investing with a single person company. He can then learn from me without me dedicating time and effort for that to happen. What do you think about this? |

Yes, but the odds of being accepted are lower. A startup is too much work for one person. |
