Really great question, Daniel. I can see where it might often be the case that someone 50+ might not know people able to devote startup-level time to a new project. I've done solo deals from time to time, but having great partners is infinitely more fun, and that's what I'm doing again this time. In my case it wasn't hard. I tend to hang out with people similarly energized by startups, and did a decent job staying in touch after my last company. My last company had a good outcome (IPO) so I'm fortunate to have a fair rolodex of people I've worked with who wouldn't mind doing so again, some of whom are my age, and some are quite a bit younger.
