Resource: 12 Tools Every Solo Founder Needs in 2026

The lean stack that keeps me shipping without burning out

Running solo means you need tools that multiply your output. Here's my current stack after 3 years of iteration: **Build** - Cursor (AI coding) - Supabase (backend + auth + DB) - Vercel (deployment) **Launch** - Founders Today (community + launch) - Lemon Squeezy (payments) **Marketing** - Typefully (Twitter scheduling) - Beehiiv (newsletter) - CapCut (short video) **Ops** - Notion (everything) - Linear (issues) - Cal.com (scheduling) **Research** - Perplexity (fast research) - Granola (meeting notes) What would you add or remove from this list?

Thanks for the useful tips i use cursor on a time to time basis but it sad that i didn't see claude code on the list, atleast that is currently the most useful stack for builders right now

Really useful list! As a solo founder running GoldenWeeks retreats in Zanzibar, I keep a similarly lean stack. MailerLite for newsletters, Stripe for payments, Google Workspace for everything, and Notion as my brain. Would add Canva for the visual content side - essential when you need to promote events while traveling!
