Have been looking forward to this one: Dave Morin on the Solo Founders Podcast.

@davemorin was early at Facebook where he worked closely with Mark Zuckerberg on Facebook's developer platforms.

Now he’s working with some of the top solo founders at Offline Ventures like Ben from Polsia and also chairs the OpenClaw foundation.

07:58 YouTube can be your co-founder
08:57 "I'm a producer, not an investor"
16:19 What Jony Ive told him when Steve Jobs died

James Clift built an Al website builder in a week, 1 month before ChatGPT.

It hit 1M users in 3 months.

Then he 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. Solo, with 6 engineers.

Solo Founders Podcast ep 29 is live with @jamesclift of Durable.

25:17 An AI website builder, a month before ChatGPT
26:16 Why 1M users was the wrong company
35:50 "Choose harder problems — it probably already is obsolete"
10:24 3.5M signups, more than half brand new
01:02 Owning a business, easier than a job
45:01 The co-founder math
53:53 What door-to-door teaches you about fundraising
1:08:52 The case against (and for) solo

@camwiese Is this realistic? That looks much closer to Palace of Fine Arts than was possible?

Nice design though!

[weisser @julianweisser]

@arjuns__ Yes.

Congrats, Ananay!

[weisser @julianweisser]

@solofounders We take the knighting ceremony very seriously at Solo Founders.

[Solo Founders @solofounders]

Congrats, Ananay!

This guy is the reason i got the taste of SF when I first landed here.

I crashed at his place every time i wanted to visit and he would happily welcome me

so happy to see prateek killing it and becoming a member of SFP!

[weisser @julianweisser]

@DhravyaShah Legendary.

[Prasad Ware @prasadtwts]

and it begins..

working with him has been such a bright experience.

many more wins to come our way!!

@solofounders while being solo was just perfect!

[Maaz @Maaztwts]

Solo, together.

[prateek @agent_wrapper]

I'm joining the Solo Founders Programme (@solofounders) in SF!

8 months ago, I started building a tool for myself to orchestrate Claude Code agents.

Running 30 parallel agents back them seemed bizarre
Today, it is quickly becoming the norm

@ao_build has since gone from a tool I built for myself, to something that 10K+ developers have used to manage 100K+ agents

While I'm a solo founder, the journey has never really felt lonely. AO has been an open source, community-driven project from day one.

But there are parts of founding only another founder understands, and it's hard to keep pushing without people who get what you're going through.

Now I'll be living and building alongside an amazing group of founders at the Solo Founders house.

Time to be Solo, together!

[weisser @julianweisser]

@agent_wrapper @_guglielmo @solofounders @ao_build Can’t wait to see what you build!

@ananayarora @solofounders @ItzSuds Just the beginning!

[Ananay @ananayarora]

Excited to share that @OpenHack is now part of YC Fall 2026! 🚀

Feels pretty surreal to be writing this, after building, shipping, selling and figuring things out the hard way.

Despite all advancements in security tooling, organizations still struggle with false positives, knowing what to fix first, and AI-assisted attacks moving faster than ever.

That’s why we’re building an always-on AI security engineer. One that is the most context aware - knowing your business, developer intent and system architecture deeply. It can hunt, reason, prioritize and verify vulnerabilities based on true business impact like a real security engineer.

It’s a much harder problem to solve than it looks on the surface, and we’re just getting started.

Back to building. 🫡

[Chaitanya @chaaai]

Software verification is slowly becoming a really sexy field to work in.

There is so much tooling that needs to be built.

We’ve been helping people build some very ambitious software with the help of our verification infrastructure.

A lot more people are going to build great software that eats the world.

[Solo Founders @solofounders]

Eugenia on the importance and power of storytelling:

[guglielmo @_guglielmo]

Passing on a founder just because they don’t have a cofounder makes no sense in the age of AI.

At @solofounders, we’re working with founders who are still solo and already hitting major ARR goals before their first full-time hires.

@nihalmehta Just took it yesterday. Nonstop from Grand Central. So smooth.
