Are you planning to get funding? I'm concerned that going alone will go against me.


Not immediately. I have a year and a half to two years living expenses saved up. I hope to start generating at least some revenue in month 4-5. I won't need funding until I want to "take it to the next level" at which point I'll be an established business and could probably even get a bank loan.

The other part of being in an area that's not really in the "startup" world is that rules of thumb like needing a cofounder do not really apply. You do need to be able to find the "local money" though, the successful local businesses whose owners are looking for investments beyond the usual index funds.
