100K+ GitHub stars in weeks, a new Solo Launch, two big funding rounds, and more

Another week of solo founder Ws: fastest-growing OSS project of all time, massive fundings, launches, and more.

Let’s dive in!

Clawdbot founder: “I ship code I don’t read.”

Peter Steinberger (creator of Clawdbot, now called Moltbot) is a solo founder who’s made a staggering 47K commits this year while running ~5 agents at once.

AI is giving solo founders ridiculous leverage, and Peter’s 45 active projects are a reminder that this isn’t an overnight success story.

Also, Dhravya Shah (SFP S25) shipped an add-on that gives Moltbot “perfect memory” with a single command. Give your AI supermemory today.

In case it wasn’t obvious, we’re serious about helping SFP founders get more leverage. Here’s the stack of Mac minis we bought so each founder in the program can run Moltbot at their desk.

This feels like a shift…

Tyler Willis runs a Series B company (Unsupervised) and has been angel investing for a decade, so when he says something feels “really powerful,” we pay attention.

This product is from an SFP alum who isn’t public about it yet, so we’ll keep it anonymous for now. Want the demo? Reply to Tyler’s tweet or this email with what you’re working on. We might be able to connect you.

Solo Launch: Telepathic, agents to track and grow AI search visibility

One of our Winter ’26 solo founders is launching Telepathic today, and beta customers are already seeing meaningful results:

• $180K of attributable revenue

• 3× increase in AI search citations

Customers say it's “ultra-fast” and the “unlimited prompts” help them “explore everything without worrying about limits,” making it a “core part of our AI-search workflow.”

Loyal cleared FDA safety (for a dog longevity drug)

When Celine Halioua was raising her seed, some investors passed because she was a solo founder with no formal drug development experience, pitching a category that didn't exist.

That solo founder pattern keeps repeating.

Solo founders get systematically underestimated. Celine is proof of what they're capable of when someone bets on them early. Getting to know Celine via ODF is part of what inspired Julian to launch the Solo Founders Program last year to support more people starting solo.

Congrats to Celine and the Loyal team!

Late Night Coffeeshop is full again (SF)

This Friday’s Late Night Coffeeshop is already full. If you want an invite to the next one, follow @FedericoNoemie and keep an eye out. We’re trying to host these monthly in San Francisco for solo founders. It’s a fun way to meet other builders and knock out some work.

Customers first, funding follows

Two solo-led companies recently announced huge rounds: FLORA raised a $42M Series A, and Railway raised a $100M Series B. Different categories, same pattern: build something customers genuinely love, and the funding follows.

Congrats to Weber Wong (FLORA), Jake Cooper (Railway), and their teams.

Solo, together.
