Most people think starting a company without a co-founder is a bad idea. We believe the opposite: solo founding will be the default way great companies get started. Applications are now open for the Solo Founders Program. 3 months in SF: "solo, together" + 1:1 support + $100K

Today solo founding still looks odd. Eventually it will be the default way of starting companies. I'm hiring a Chief of Staff to scale @solofounders with me.

Moving to SF changed my life. In the last 2 years, I paid it forward and helped hundreds of founders relocate to do their life's work. I want to work with you & invest $100K if you: - are building solo - feel what you’re building is a calling - have paying users who love you

The Solo Founders Program turns one today. Many say you need a co-founder to get started. They're wrong. The best founders have never waited around for a co-founder. Will you?

You can tell how good a founder is by talking to their founding engineer. Solo founder always have excellent ones. More authorship + more equity to grant = best people
For the first time in history, over 1 in 3 startups were started solo this year. Introducing The State of Solo Founding: exclusive data from Carta + commentary from top founders and investors. solofounders.com/report Solo founders seem odd today. Soon they'll be the default.

I’m obsessed with the idea of a solarpunk future built by technology. Convinced that bringing the most ambitious people together will make it happen. This center of gravity is built by people like Minn & Robby who help immigrant founders build important startups in SF.

Julius has raised a new round of funding from some great investors like @BessemerVP @sandykory @ycombinator @natfriedman @8vc and angels like @rauchg @amasad @AravSrinivas @akothari @mikeknoop @arashf @eoghan @gokulr @balajis @pk_iv @swyx @lukeharries @typesfaster + some more amazing folks there’s no shortage of data, there’s a shortage of insights and Julius is here to fix it
We just raised $10M to put a data analyst in every knowledge worker's pocket📊 From marketing managers to product managers to founders, everyone now has the power to seek their own data insights We're eliminating the gap between curiosity and clarity. See how we plan to do it👇

Many of those @solofounders are immigrants. Truly pushing the boundaries of what’s possible 🇺🇸
Solo founders are underestimated. We’re changing that. In May we launched the Solo Founders Program (<1% acceptance rate) for six founders to build together in SF. 60 days in: millions raised, 35k GitHub stars, rapid growth. Join us: Fall 2025 applications close soon.

TLDR; • AI-native tooling & workflow picks will keep compounding. • Solopreneurs will raise earlier, and faster. • Visa support might be the highest-ROI founder perk of 2025.

Capital matters, but conviction and immigration paperwork loom larger. cc @lighthousehq_ 🇺🇸 As is usual with early-stage founders, conviction is still the first stop on the path to going full time on something new.

If you're set on building a generational company, you should move to SF. You can build a great regional business from Europe and the internet isn't a bad ecosystem overall. Still, most of the change is happening here. Ultimately, it's about how far you want to go.
In a time of accelerating change, you want to be closest to all the people who are bringing about that change You need to be in San Francisco

This is a unique moment to start something. We’ve been told the Bay Area feels like the dot com days again. I’ve seen a surge of founders moving here to be part of it. Grateful to partner with @lighthousehq_ to help the most talented people in the world do their life’s work.
