The Thesis

"2026 is the greatest year in the history of mankind to start a company."

AI has made the one-person company — and the small team — not just possible, but powerful. Ideas that once required teams of 50 and millions in funding now launch from a single laptop in months.

The greatest wave of new ventures in history is breaking right now. But the infrastructure hasn't caught up. Venture capital was built for large teams. The gatekeepers were built for a world that no longer exists.

The money, the partners, the connections, the intelligence — they're still locked behind doors most founders don't have keys to.

SOLO is the key.

5–10
New ventures arrive on our curator's desk every single week. More one-person and small team ventures than ever before.
98%
Of great ideas never get funded. Not because they aren't good enough — because they never find the right room.
AI
Is changing everything — faster than most people realise. SOLO keeps you informed, ahead of the curve, and connected to the people shaping what comes next.
What SOLO Members Get

Everything the insiders had.
Now available to everyone.

No obligations. No commitments. Only opportunities.

01 — Intelligence

Weekly Briefing & AI Intelligence

Curated analysis of the most interesting ventures, investment opportunities and alternative assets — plus a clear, honest picture of what is actually happening in AI and how it is changing the world. The intelligence insiders get, delivered to your inbox every week. Read what interests you. Ignore what doesn't.

02 — Connections

Capital & Co-Founder Matching

Founders get introduced to the right capital and co-founders. Investors get first look at vetted ventures. Every introduction is personal and qualified — not an algorithm, a human judgment call. Investors remain completely private until they find something they want to act on. No pressure. Ever.

03 — Community

The Room Where It Happens

A private, selective network of founders, small teams, angels and operators. No noise. No unsolicited pitching. Just people who are actually building and backing things that matter — and who want to know what is coming next in AI and business.

Who SOLO Is For

Founders. Small teams.
First believers.

For Founders & Small Teams
You have an idea and AI to build it
You don't need a team of 50 anymore. You need the right capital partner, a great co-founder, and access to people who have done it before at scale.
You've been ignored by traditional VC
They fund large teams. You are a team. SOLO connects you directly to individuals who understand the new model — and have capital ready to deploy.
You want to understand where AI is taking things
Not hype. Not headlines. A curated, honest view of what is actually changing, what it means for your business, and where the real opportunities are emerging.
You're building something genuinely new
SOLO's curator has seen thousands of ventures and knows the difference between a real idea and a dressed-up one. You will get an honest signal — and the right introductions.
For First Believers & SOLO VIPs
You want early access to real opportunities
Not public markets. Not overpriced late-stage rounds. The earliest stage — where real returns are made — curated and filtered before they reach you.
You stay completely private
As an investor in SOLO you are never exposed until you choose to be. You read, you consider, you act when something interests you. No pressure. No obligation. Ever.
You want to stay informed about AI
Every week you get a clear, curated picture of what is actually happening in AI — not noise, not hype — so you understand the changes that will define the next decade.
You want to back the founder and small team wave
The greatest generation of new ventures is starting right now. SOLO puts you in the room before anyone else — quietly, on your terms, with no obligations.
Where We Come From

Built on Sweden's
unicorn spirit.

Sweden has produced more unicorns per capita than almost any country on earth. Spotify. Klarna. iZettle. King. That spirit is back — and SOLO is built to channel it.

"I see 5–10 new ventures on my desk every week. I have never seen anything like what is happening right now."

In 1994 Johan co-founded Icon Medialab and built it to become the largest internet consultant in the world — listed on the Stockholm Stock Exchange and NASDAQ in New York, reaching a $3 billion valuation with 3,500 employees across 21 countries.

In 1998 he co-founded Letsbuyit.com — the first consumer aggregator in Europe and the largest e-commerce site in Europe for two consecutive years. That same year Speed Ventures became the largest incubator in Europe. All three companies reached unicorn valuations before AI existed.

Seed investments include:
Tunigo (sold to Spotify) · KennethWorks (sold to Google) · BokaDirekt · ASmallWorld · Clavister (Public) · EpiSurf (Public) · BlueFish (Public) · WeMind · AccedoBroadband · Kunskapsskolan · WRAP (Reid Hoffman, Niklas Zennström) · RevvoMed · Lumoo Studios · Mavatar · and more.
