Why we believe in solo founders
You’ve probably been told that building solo doesn’t work.
Solo founding isn’t a compromise. It’s a choice.
Solo founders choose:
100% authorship
Faster decisions
No equity splits or founder conflict
With these benefits come real trade-offs. Loneliness is real. You need to be incredibly self-motivated. In the early days, you truly need to do it all.
That said, solo founders now have more leverage than ever before. It’s not only possible to be a solo founder, it will eventually become the default.
The tide is turning. Read the full manifesto: The Case for Solo Founders
