What’s the hardest part of being a solopreneur that no one talks about?
There’s a lot of talk about freedom, flexibility, owning your time, and 100% equity.
But behind the scenes, being a solo founder is also full of hidden challenges — emotionally, financially, and logistically.
As a solo founder, you wear all the hats: product, design, marketing, support, strategy… and sleep, if there's time.
What’s one thing you wish more people talked about honestly as a solo founder?
p.s. I have a co-founder but we are also the only 2 team members working on our startup, and I already feel each of us takes too many responsibilities. We used to consider outsource some non-core tasks but we also heard lots of drawbacks of outsourcing (even not the core technical stuffs). So currently we are still doing everything all by ourselves.
Salute to all solo-founder! You all are the true hero!
