As the volume of startups increases, big companies will start to develop standardized procedures that make acquisitions little more work than hiring someone. silicon valleys.

Investors, particularly in Silicon Valley investors tend to shun solo founders. In some cases the “co-founder” title is used to attract people to join the company in an increasingly competitive hiring environment. But the key hiring, firing, strategy, fundraising, and customer issues often fall in the lap of the founding CEO.
