Tim Draper on why startup founders need a strong co-founder or support person to handle the emotional swings of running a company. The daily ups and downs can break you alone.

Running a company, you kind of have to learn to manage your emotions because you're on this constant roller coaster of we're doing great, this is going to go very far, to, oh, now the challenges are very hard, this might not go anywhere. And it can be very draining personally if you don't know how to manage these emotions. The key solution is to have a very strong co-founder so that you can kind of lay your, your head on their shoulders.
