Our mission

Make solo entrepreneurs succeed.

Meet the founder

Charlie Henderson

I've spent a decade as CEO across three businesses — 9 years as a co-founder and 3 as a solopreneur. I've built enterprise AI that was deployed into major European and global banks, grew a business from $0 to $1m ARR, raised $5m+ from VCs and high-net-worth investors, and took a company through a competitive multi-bidder acquisition process.

Before that, I founded a business on the ground in Dar es Salaam during the East Africa LNG boom — securing direct relationships with major energy companies. I know what it takes to start from nothing in an emerging market.

Along the way, I've launched 15+ products across fintech, travel, legal tech and AI — one reaching 15,000+ users. I've built and sold B2B, B2C and B2B2C products, and shipped across web apps, mobile apps, desktop software and on-premise deployments. I've raised VC rounds and bootstrapped from zero. I've read 100+ business books — Lean Startup, Zero to One, Crossing the Chasm, Only the Paranoid Survive, and everything in between.

HatchSolo is where all of that comes together. I codified a decade of building — the wins, the failures, the frameworks from the books that actually matter — into 22 battle-tested frameworks. Then I packaged them into one system that any founder can use.

Today I run Ant vs Bear, an AI venture studio. We build products, test markets, and help founders turn ideas into revenue — fast.

I built HatchSolo because it's the tool I wished existed when I started. No guessing. No wasted months. Just a clear path from idea to launch — backed by real experience, not just theory.
