Two Bulgarian horses can each pull 10,000 pounds but together pull 34,000 pounds. Nick Perry uses this to argue that aligned partners don't just double a company's output—they can triple it. Founders need a complementary teammate, not another solo operator, to unlock exponential growth.
Here's a fun fact that I bet you didn't know. A Bulgarian horse can pull about 10,000 pounds, but two of them together don't pull 20,000. They pull 34,000, which is more than triple what one can do alone. But look, this video isn't about Bulgarian horses. It's about why some businesses grow while others stay the same. They don't have the right people in place because one solid employee or partner doesn't just double but triples your revenue. Because two people aligned on the same mission will always outperform two people working separately. So stop trying to be the whole team and go find your second horse.
