Why we believe in solo founders

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
