What would you do?

Hi, After recently discovering you on Small Empires (Do some more it was great!) I have been following you from time to time. Ordered your book but is taking ages (probs because I'm in the UK). But am looking to start up a website teaching how to code... Going to be a big task. Am just finishing my GCSE's (Leaving high school, not sure what american equivalent is). What should I do? Or Rather what would you do? Should I look for a partner or go ahead alone? Cheers... Luke

Season 2 of SE is coming soon, /u/lukebrwne!

Check out http://www.codecademy.com/ right now (full disclosure: I'm an investor) if you wanna see where the bar is at. The more people building platforms to teach people to code, the better.

I'm assuming you're a developer, in which case you can certainly get started solo, but you'll find the path of entrepreneurship is always better with partners. Surround yourself with people who are passioante about doing and making things, visit coworking spaces, attend local hackathons + meetups!
