Solo founder hit $1M ARR using Claude Code as the primary build tool—not as a helper, but as the engineering team.

The playbook:
• Problem selection: stress-test ideas with Claude before any code
• Simulation: role-play the product, user, and sales call before building
• Build: Claude Code handles feature development with tight task scoping
• Pricing: model scenarios based on customer value, not your costs
• GTM: AI handles personalized outreach; you handle positioning

The real win? Compressed feedback loops. Validation that normally takes months happens in weeks.

Not every founder needs to be technical. But every founder needs to move fast.
