“If you’re a solo founder today, you’re leading the future.”
Julian Weisser, CEO of Solo Founders and host of the Solo Founders Podcast, is this week’s guest.
In the interviewer's chair: David Phillips, solo founder of Fondo, ODF4 alum, and a close friend of Julian from before Solo Founders existed.
The default is flipping. Carta data shows one in three companies was solo-founded last year, up from under a quarter five years ago. Julian believes the flippening is less than five years away. What's getting us there isn't just the technology, but the solo founders already building (most of you!) who are proving the old assumptions wrong. Today's solo founders are role models for everyone coming behind them.
They explore why the industry has been wrong about co-founders, the “factory” playbook that kills more startups than the market, and Julian’s new taxonomy of solo founders: true, free, juiced. He also shares the reasoning behind some exciting updates to the Solo Founders Program.
Listen now on the Solo Founders Podcast:
Solo, together.
