Support system is critical - I’ve been much to have mentors and advisors who have built and exited successful but also experienced the hardships of growing a startup.

Julia Dixon ~ building ESAI :
Love this! I got some pushback as a solo founder during my first raise but less so the second time - prove you can do it alone and nobody cares as much :)

Agreed! I sold my startup & now I’m a coach to other solo founders. I can confirm that having the right support system, e.g. coaches, advisors, therapists, make all the difference 👌

Solo founders need to be strong generalists with a drive to learn and motivation to work 12 hour days

Pre-MVP here 👋! Been on YC for over a year looking for a technical cofounder. As an investor, would you rather tap into your personal network with someone you trust or have a team ready when pitched?

😂Just someone who currently have a cofounder doesn’t mean one day they won’t go solo

Do you think AI is making a lot of this a lot more feasible also? Maybe aside from the emotional side but lots of functional support early on in theory.

Being a solo founder isn’t as hard as having to constantly prove yourself to old-fashioned people. AI will change that.

I think as someone who built my startup from lived experience I’ve stayed solo so far to keep clean and clear on what I am doing!

user1889027071133 :
Inexperienced solo founder is pretty different than solo founder with experience and a network in the area they're working in. I think a lot of the messaging against from groups like YC make sense in the context they operate in but are far from universal.
