36. Adrian Spartaru - Cleanvoice - Building an AI Startup as a solo founder

# Summary

I must admit that I was thinking about starting my own startup for a long time, but never had the guts to really do so. One excuse that I always told myself was, that I am all alone, and I dont have a team with which to start that adventure.

Well if you are like me, than this episode is for you!

Today on the show I am talking to Adrian Spartarus. Founder of two AI Startups, and he did so as a single solo founder.

On this episode we will discuss some of the challenges that one faces as a solo founder and about building a AI product today.

We discuss the role of skill development, outsourcing, the importance of having the right training data and much more.

We end the episode by talking about the possibilities and dangers of the most recent AI advancements on society as a hole, but on modern tech Entrepreneurship in particular.

I hope you enjoy this episode and it will encourage you to take that step towards realizing your own dreams despite the difficulties ahead.
