Listen Later

Discover the untold story of AI startup founder Annie Liao, who raised $1.75M at 24 to build Build Club while navigating the challenges of being a solo founder in a world built for teams.

This episode explores the mental resilience required for solo entrepreneurship, the funding gap facing female founders (who received just 1% of VC funding in 2024), and why research shows solo founders actually survive longer than founding teams.

Learn about the hidden costs of building alone, the gender bias female founders face daily, and why Annie's journey reveals truths about startup life that most success stories gloss over.

Whether you're considering going solo or already on the path, this deep dive into AI education startups, venture capital dynamics, and female entrepreneurship offers insights you won't find in typical founder stories.
