Exactly one year ago, we announced the Solo Founders Program. Felt right to send a quick note.
A lot of people say you need a co-founder to get started. You already know that's wrong. We're seeing more people start solo than ever before (>1 in 3 companies last year), and this community is a big part of why.
Thank you for being part of this. Here's what's crazy: the best founders have never waited around for a co-founder. From Dell and eBay to Browserbase and Vercel (watch our new ~15 second video about this).
We're building to support more of these companies, and if you're reading this, maybe we'll get to work together.
We haven't officially opened applications for SFP yet, but we're reading early submissions starting today.
If you're thinking about starting solo — or you've already gotten going — we'd love to hear from you. We've accepted people at the idea stage through tens of thousands in MRR when they applied.
Solo, together.
