The age of the solopreneur

#there has been a substantial increase in the number of solopreneurs earning over $100,000 in our index, but an even larger increase in the number earning at higher income thresholds, with a clear acceleration since 2023. More than twice as many solopreneurs earned over $1 million in 2025 than in 2023, and close to three times as many crossed $5 million and $10 million.

Sure you can now build a business alone with AI. But life sucks when you are alone. Entrepreneurs need to switch gear from making money to hire people, to making money to build community. Success is how much you get to contribute back to the community.
