About this paper
Farhad Rezazadeh, Pegah Bonehgazy
This paper presents a three-stage conceptual framework detailing how individual entrepreneurs can leverage AI agents as "digital co-founders" to convert creative ideas into viable solo businesses. The framework outlines the roles of AI in Imagination Shaping, Reality Testing, and Reality Scaling, addressing the unique challenges and opportunities of solopreneurship in an AI-augmented environment.
Key insights
- AI-augmented solo business constitutes a distinct entrepreneurial context characterized by extreme resource limitations, heightened role accumulation, and a strong coupling between founder identity and the venture, all influenced by expanded computational capacity via AI.
- Entrepreneurial imagination is central, dynamically linked to identity, constrained by cognitive bandwidth (partially compensated by AI), and constantly balanced with economic necessity through structured, AI-supported processes.
- The entrepreneurial journey is a recursive interplay between imagining, testing, and systematizing, where AI agents act as evolving collaborators to extend capabilities and manage solo-founder specific psychological and practical challenges.
