On: Ask HN: Why is it so important to have a cofounder...

[chailatte]

Yes, nobody is good at everything. However, that's why hiring and delegation of responsibility is an essential skill in a good entrepreneur.

You can't contract a decent designer for $500 to launch a prototype?

You can't hire a good accountant for $50/session?

You won't muster up the strength to manage a remote programmer for $10/hour?

You'd rather give away 55% of your company?

then you probably shouldn't be starting a company.
