every · x · 2026-08-27
Julian Weisser, founder of SoloFounders, will speak at the Thesis conference. After helping over 1,000 founders find co-founders, he now bets on solo companies: 33% of startups are founded solo, and one founder in his program hit $2.5M ARR in 6 months using only AI tools before hiring. The discussion will cover how roles, hiring, and ownership evolve when the first team is one person and a suite of AI tools.
