Karen, I really loved this piece--especially the way you surface assumptions we don’t always question about founders and age. 👏
The dynamic--seasoned professionals picking up ideas they parked decades ago because the tech has finally caught up--is worth watching. Some of the people “bitten late” by the entrepreneurial bug may end up driving real breakthroughs, especially if they connect and collaborate with one another. I touched on this in our recent Q&A when I mentioned my Collaborative Risktaking™ platform--an idea I first imagined more than a decade ago, but only now have the AI-powered tools to prototype.
I’ve been tracking these undercurrents for a while, and I suspect we’re near an inflection point. The shifting mix of AI, workplace dynamics, and demographics could spark new kinds of partnerships--solopreneur-to-solopreneur networks that look very different from the classic “young founder” story. I’ll be writing more about what I’m seeing, but your piece really captures the moment that’s setting the stage for it.
And I love that this essay builds on Luan Doan's and Michael Spencer’s original article about solo entrepreneurs rewiring AI adoption--it's the kind of layered conversation that keeps me thinking too. 🙌
You raise a great point about collaborations among solopreneurs, Dee. I’m curious to hear more about your Collaborative Risktaking platform as you develop it!

If you're game, I'd be delighted to invite you to be an early tester! 🤝
Sure - I’ll be happy to test it out 😊
Well said Karen.
Thank you, Iwette!
