Nice post. I hope it works well for you. And for other South Africans (sorry, US here).

As a single founder who sometimes feels pressure (mainly from here) to not be a single founder, I would hope to see more posts like this. I realize the ycombinator is not a matchmaking service, but what better place to look?

You don't mention a compelling reason for starting a business other than "the way the Rand is going". Do you have an idea (or even a concept)? Or are you purposefully not sharing it?

Which brings up an interesting question. If you're a single founder looking for co-founders iN a public place, how much should you share?



The most compelling reason for me is to do something meaningful, rather than stagnating due to lack of motivation as I am in my current job. I'm hoping to find someone with the same outlook.

Have a couple of ideas, but I'm open to anything.

Thanks for the reply. Got me thinking.


The answer to the last question is definitely 50%.


Oops, sorry. What I meant was how much information should you share in your public search for a co-founder.
