It's not a fact, just an opinion or anecdotal observation. And I submit it depends on the person in question. Some folks may find it easier to have a co-founder, some may find that to be more of an obstacle. Both cases have merit. Agreed it helps to have other people support you, be a cheerleader, be a listener, etc., but that doesn't have to be a cofounder. Since cofounder implies equity stake, all kinds of painful problems become possible when a newborn business venture has ownership split between multiple people, with different vision, different motivations, different life circumstances, and often (but not always) different equity stakes. In an ideal world, having co-founders/co-owners can be great. But it can also be a path to hell. Depending on the situation.
Yeah, you're right that there's no 1 law that fits everyone. Still we can say that in general it's easier to work together than alone with a note that there are some exclusions, of course.
