Executive Summary

About 200 million solopreneurs worldwide—freelancers, indie creators, consultants and microbusiness owners—struggle with planning, execution and admin because existing project management tools are designed for teams or are a patchwork of point solutions. They spend disproportionate time on breaking down goals into tasks, keeping context up to date and switching between apps, which is costly for people who must do everything themselves. You could build a lightweight, single-user project management app centered on AI-driven workflows: natural-language planning that generates deterministic task breakdowns, automatic meeting and inbox summarization, reusable templates for common solo projects, one-click automations to external tools and a minimal setup that works on mobile and web. Targeting roughly $75 ARPU/year aligns with the $15.0B addressable market (200M solopreneurs x $75) and keeps product expectations clear while prioritizing retention and low friction onboarding. This is an attractive moment: the market score is high (92/100) and revenue potential strong (88/100) because solo entrepreneurship is growing, LLMs now handle planning and summarization reliably, and many users report fatigue with tool sprawl. Competition is medium, meaning there’s room for focused entrants but also pressure from established vendors. To stand out you must optimize for single-user UX and predictable, auditable AI outputs, plus strong privacy controls and vertical templates that cut setup time to minutes; distribution should lean on niche communities and partnerships rather than broad enterprise channels. Be realistic about challenges: unit economics are sensitive at a $75 ARPU, customer acquisition and retention will need efficient channels, and incumbents can copy features, so execution speed, clear positioning and tight cost controls on AI usage are critical.

Project management for solopreneurs — single-user workflows with AI targets a $15.0B = 200M solopreneurs x $75 ARPU/year total addressable market with medium saturation and a year-over-year growth rate of 15% average for productivity & freelancer tool adoption.

Key trends driving demand: Rise of solo entrepreneurship -- more independent creators and microbusinesses need lightweight tooling; AI automation -- LLMs can handle planning, summarization and task generation previously manual; Tool consolidation fatigue -- users prefer fewer integrated apps over many point solutions; Remote/gig economy growth -- work patterns that favor asynchronous, single-user workflows.
