Going Solo Should Be the Rule, Not the Exception | Flo Crivello, Lindy
Episode 17
Published 4 weeks ago
Description
Flo Crivello raised about $50M as a solo founder, then watched the market kill the company he'd built. Instead of quitting, he cut deep, pivoted, and rebuilt alone into Lindy — one of the top AI agent startups. This is a clear-eyed playbook on knowing when to kill a company, beating burnout with momentum, and building solo without being alone.
Topics covered:
- Raising ~$50M as a solo founder
- Knowing when to kill a company and how deep to cut
- Why momentum, not rest, is the cure for burnout
- Prospecting for gold vs. operating the mine: where a founder should spend their time
- The solo founder's "brain trust": building support without a co-founder
Guest: Flo Crivello — founder & CEO of Lindy.
