julianweisser · x · 2026-09-24
Solo Founders Podcast episode 29 features James Clift of Durable. He built an AI website builder in a week, one month before ChatGPT launched, and hit 1M users in three months. He then went after a harder problem: running the whole business for SMBs, not just building their website. 3.5M people have since signed up to start an SMB on Durable — run solo, with only 6 engineers.
