These strategies are intended for individual use but can also be combined for maximum effectiveness. Maybe you can guess which companies are currently using each strategy. I'll give you one for free; currently Tesla are being very successful with be Elon Musk and burning investor money by talking about self driving cars.
May be Musk can talk because he have proved himself? Shallow talking will not go too far

There's nothing to gain from doing so. I'm not seeking co-founders, nor do I think a quasi-open remote work model would be a good fit. Besides, I could use the five dollars. :)
"The project I'm working on has evolved over the years into something I can no longer feasibly accomplish alone" ... "I'm not seeking co-founders" i dont know your situation, but maybe this is a mistake? 25% of something is better than 100% of nothing? just a thought
Regardless, I should have qualified that statement by saying that a sizable team is required at a minimum to ship anything resembling a final product. It's far beyond what a few co-founders could accomplish together.
I have this magical formula for building a startup that is 100% guaranteed to work, but no-one discusses. - Do something illegal, then lobby for your rights! - DDOS your competition - Be evil - Ignore regulations designed to protect your workforce (often referred to as 'partners', hah!) - Tell everyone you have a special insight in making successful startups - something to do with 'hustle' and 'product market fit' -…
Another business plan that can be very profitable: - Build something rather generic, mediocre, but serviceable - Donate a lot to politician campaigns - Enthusiastically explain how great it would be if people (or a certain segment of people) were required to use a product with certain requirements - Your product somehow is the only on that matches those requirements

That's true, and while there is a huge benefit to having co-founders there's also drawbacks (e.g. time spent on recruitment and vetting, potential drama down the road, less equity for employees, a fractured vision). In my situation, that time and energy is likely better spent pushing forward.

I have some ideas that probably fit that description. But does the "lean startup" concept still not fit? In other words, is the MVP feasible alone, developed to a point where it can be announced and tested by real users, and possibly gain popularity and possibly income, and ultimately facilitate the necessary growth?

Wise words indeed Mandeep!
I hope I know you. May I ask - how you know my name? If you have figured out my unusual name from my user name then you are exceptionally smart :-)
