I've built several companies as a solo founder- MobiQpons Inc., ZipTrips.in and most recently Plumreef.com
I've usually brought in early employees for large equity, contractors to help me with specific things that I'm not good at.
All my companies have generated revenues and have become operationally cash flow positive. However, my companies haven't scaled for two reasons:
a. When the going gets tough- I'm alone and its depressing
b. There's not as much cross fertilization/validation/push back on ideas as there should be.
