Start and run a company on your own, with AI agents doing much of the work
AI tools can now build, test and run large parts of a software business. What a co-founder used to cover still has to be covered: a second pair of eyes, selling, money, legal set-up and judgment. This school teaches one person to cover it.
Why this school
Solo founders head the list of founder profiles investors expect to see more often as AI changes how software gets built. The case against them is just as clear: a team gets the same AI boost, and code was never the only constraint. Customer meetings, sales, recruiting, judgment and persistence stay hard. The school is built around that objection. Each unit takes one job a co-founder used to share and turns it into a skill you can learn and practise.
Inspired by Andrew Chen's essay New founder archetypes in the AI era, and the Content Wire article on new founder profiles that followed it.
