My favorite analogy for one founder vs two or more is that it’s possible to raise a child as a single parent, but vastly more challenging and personally taxing to get the same outcome.
One difference between a start-up and a child is that raising a child means taking time away from making money whereas if your start-up is successful it should be making you money. So I think that is a big flaw with this analogy.
On that same analogy, you need to find a good 'co-parent' that you get along with and also loves the child and has the time/dedication/skills to raise the child to be a happy and successful adult.
Depending on who you pick, the child might be raised better by a single parent than 2 parents..
I have no idea what you mean. I did the stay-at-home parent thing. So I had no income of my own for a long time. I don't regret it and I still have a very close relationship to my now adult children but it did hurt my earning capacity.
