Bootstrapping in the Age of AI

The Age of AI is also the golden age of Bootstrapping. And it is the golden age of Solo Entrepreneurs. With AI, you can build a lot in an ultralight mode and get VCs salivating. The key is Positioning. Let’s discuss the nuances.

With the advent of AI startups like MidJourney bootstrapping from 0 to $200M with 11 employees, lean startups are taking front stage.

The stigma around solo entrepreneurs is going to vanish if you can show traction by bootstrapping.

In fact, VCs are going to salivate over solo entrepreneurs who are achieving velocity without funding and with ultralight teams.

The key is Positioning. Velocity is 100% a function of Positioning. What do you build? For whom?
