Automatic transcript. May contain errors.0:00Hey everybody, Julian here from Solo Founders. We launched the Solo Founders program six months ago. It's been incredible to see the progress that founders have made. Completely solo, they've gotten to millions in ARR, they've sold to public companies and governments, and they've really proven to a lot of people just what you can do as a solo founder. Now we're launching the Solo Founders podcast, Solo Founders Show. We actually are recording this and we don't yet know what we're gonna call it. I'll be honest with you, we're figuring things out as we go. And that's part of what it means to be a solo founder and to build early stage startups.
0:35This show is really about bringing together people who are early on in building very important, exciting new companies, and also solo founders who've been at it for a while, who are Series B, Series C, who've sold companies before. The idea here is we're going to be able to get both the perspective on what is happening right now in solo founding, what is happening with AI, but also give you a sense of what it's like to have grown a company solo over time. the lessons that have been learned, the mistakes that have been made, and of course, the advantages that people have developed and are going to be sharing with you as tactics that you could use when you're building your company solo.
1:10So if you are listening to this as a prospective solo founder, or if you are a solo founder, I think you're going to find this really valuable. If you are an investor in startups, or you're just trying to figure out what in the world is happening with startups today, as you know, AI gives you more and more leverage as an individual, I think this show will be really informative. So stay tuned. We're going to have the next episode, the first episode of whatever we end up calling this thing live very soon.
From the publisher
This is a new show about building companies solo in the age of AI. Six months after launching the Solo Founders program, which has seen founders reach millions in ARR and sell to public companies and governments, this podcast brings together early-stage builders and experienced solo founders to share what's working, what's not, and what it actually looks like to grow a company without co-founders.
