Solo founder is such a loaded term. Every freelancer, dropshipper, consultant is also a solo-founder. it's just not as glamorous as building a venture backed product.
- jwr 8y agoNo, a solo founder is someone who starts a new product business. That is very different from consulting, freelancing, etc, where you sell your time.
- tonyedgecombe 8y agoDid you just make that rule up?
- john_moscow 8y agoThere's lots of bullshit on both sides. "Building a venture-backed product" these days often means "being a full-time salesperson peddling grossly overvalued equity by trying to schmooze people who don't understand the underlying tech because that's the only way for the existing investors to exit".
