Basically login to your own machines quite seamlessly and it doesn’t look like vpn traffic either. 

Btw, grok didn’t complain also, and of course Deepseek & Qwen worked a charm

Honestly would love the mech for it to get better. There’s gotta be better ways than just launch a coin

Better yet - let the crowd become VCs instead. Smaller tickets, let everyone in on an asymmetrical bet

agree, definitely it was taboo to be a solo founder in the past.

Totally agree there will be more solo bootstrapped founders. I’m just saying there’s been a pendulum shift away from solo founders getting funding for VC scale businesses. With agents I think that can change with some multi-modal founders who can command agents well to start and use VC to fuel that growth further

More solo founders - yes.  More VC - why?

If you can solo found a business and get it out ASAP, the revenue potential for VC is likely smaller, but greater for the founder.

Funny how things work; it's just gonna make good founders stand out more
