SoloOps — AI Admin Assistant for Solopreneurs

A single AI-powered admin hub that connects email, calendar, invoicing, and CRM-lite functions, then automates follow-ups, drafts proposals from call recordings, chases unpaid invoices, and schedules meetings. Priced far below a part-time VA so it's accessible to solopreneurs who can't hire.

The problem

Solopreneurs report spending 40-60% of their week on low-value admin: invoicing, scheduling, client follow-ups, lead tracking, proposals, and expense reports. One consultant was described working 14-hour days running a $400K/year business alone, unable to afford a virtual assistant. The result is burnout and a drastically reduced effective hourly rate.

Who it’s for

Solopreneurs, consultants, and freelancers

Market

~70M+ freelancers and solopreneurs in the US alone, with hundreds of millions globally

Source: external_knowledge

Common labor market data (e.g., Upwork/MBO Partners studies) puts US freelancers at 70M+, and the target subset of solo consultants and service providers who handle their own admin is a large fraction of that. No specific figures were quoted in the evidence, so this relies on well-known segment sizing.
