Solo as much as you can. Team after that

A team can be helpful in reducing your workload, but if you're just starting out and not earning a significant amount, it's better to remain a solopreneur.

Start from Solo and build team eventually when start getting good MRR

@nidhish_bhavsar I'm curious to know, what was your product? After all, not all products can be started from scratch alone.

A simple question for FirstHR :) The team, of course.

TBH, I like both scenarios as soon as I can do it simultaneously. I need team because there are many cool ideas from those great people who are able to share them and I can train my interpersonal skills. I need my projects as well because I build my discipline to be dedicated to something. It complements each other and this is how it works for me.

Honestly, it depends on the project. If it’s small, I like working solo because it gives me the flexibility to move at my own pace and learn every part of the process from start to finish. That said, I’ve realized you can’t go far without a team. Collaborating with others brings fresh perspectives, and dividing tasks helps get things done faster. Plus, there’s always something to learn from teammates. Overall, I’d say I prefer working in a team—it’s more dynamic, and you get mentorship and new ideas you might not have considered on your own.

@sanzhi_kobzhan Had a bad experience?
Chel Chen
I would say start solo, then build team along the way
Arindam Vaidya
Depends. If you're scaling then obviously team, if just testing something out then solo.
Pragadeesh Natarajan
Solo for now. Maybe a remote- and async-first team later.
Tony Tong
What phase are you in? You want to maximize learning or maximize efficiency? We need to answer these questions and start reasoning from there.

It depends on the project, but I’d say a mix of both is ideal! Solo is great for deep focus and getting creative, while a team brings collaboration, fresh perspectives, and energy to the mix. If I had to choose, though, I’d lean toward team—it’s amazing how much better ideas get when they’re built together😊

Whether to go solo or work with a team depends on your goals. Solo work offers autonomy and flexibility, ideal for tasks requiring focus. A team brings diverse skills and collaboration, perfect for tackling complex projects. Choose what aligns best with your needs and the task at hand.

I'd like to choose team at present. A reliable and harmonious team can play a great role in the projects. But if your teammates seems to be unreliable, solo is better.
Feliciana
I’d go with a team. It’s just way better to have different ideas and support when you need it.
Tasha Konkina
Team team 😆 I love small teams, they bring back the feeling from the childhood when you are building something awesome with your playmates just because you’re all driven by a common passion to make something cool!

Lean dream team wins every time!
Donnie Suazo
I am part of a global team by day, and a ninja by night. With the right group of people, team always wins for me.

Team of solos who can collaborate. Then everyone can take initiative and the overall team can execute fast
