Interesting idea. I would guess that this idea, like many good things at startups, will be have to change when you get to 20 or 30 people. Correct?

Kind of old, but in it's time PlentyOfFish.com was 1-man startup. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlentyofFish

I would love to get a list of 1-man-startup/companies and their experiences, but chances are that these guys are way too too busy to blog about it.

Here is mine : http://www.efficontrol.com

Not my first startup. I have come to have up to 10 employees and truly being a 1-man-startup I feel more fulfilled.

Bit of a bait-y title. Not about 1-person startups, but how the team members at AngelList all have high levels of autonomy and how the culture at AL facilitates that.

We call them “1-man startups” internally. Hence the title. =) Actual 1-person startups are an interesting topic too, for a future post.

This is great. My favorite part is that you have internal "support services" to help with design/refactoring, etc.
