Founders need seed capital to get their operations up and running, and to begin generating revenue. They need to comply with laws, create back-end processes, and build prototypes — all of which cost money.

With higher pricing and other things in that nature, maybe annual pricing and so on, you could probably get enough money together to start having an employee if a cofounder doesn’t sound good. I’m instantly out because those companies are horrible for venture capital.
