The Solopreneur Stack
Run the whole company from a single laptop, without paying for seats you will never fill.
Why this stack
When you are the founder, the marketer, and the accountant all at once, the last thing you need is tool sprawl. This stack covers the four jobs a solo business actually has to do every week, knowledge and planning, audience building, sales follow up, and getting paid, with tools that each have a real free or cheap entry tier so the bill stays small while the business is small.
