The amount of solo founded startups has doubled over the last 10 years, and continues to be uptrending.
While obviously this might not be too surprising given the tremendous progress of AI, I still find it impressive because at the same time, investors are now demanding MVPs and actual traction already in the earliest rounds. It's no longer enough to simply pitch based on an idea.
Personally I believe there has never been a more exciting pool of startup opportunities that can iterate and progress this quickly, but at the same time this also means it has never been more difficult to pick the winners.
The bar to build has never been lower.
The bar to win has never been higher.
