Solo-led, never alone

One clear decider. Lots of help around them. Ownership written before the first euro.

PCWe reviewed the research on it.People and teams

How to use it

Keep one clear decider, surrounded by helpers, advisers and community. If you ever share ownership, write roles, vesting and a decision rule before the first euro. Note: the popular "65% of startups fail from co-founder conflict" figure is misquoted.

How sure we are

P Evidence: promising. Good studies, but small or few. Use it and keep checking.

C Evidence: contested. The research disagrees. Named, so you can stop worrying about it.
