Base44’s story makes the solo-founder billionaire seem less mythical. I’m wondering how Wix plans to keep that momentum—fold it fully into their stack or let it keep shipping independently?
Love the idea that one person can now outrun entire dev teams. Did Base44 rely heavily on off-the-shelf AI APIs, or was there proprietary modeling under the hood?
The article frames Base44 as proof the economics of software have flipped. Any details on cloud or infra costs that could help other solo founders benchmark viability?
Fascinated by the 250 K-user milestone. Was growth front-loaded from launch hype, or did month-over-month adoption stay linear right up to acquisition?
Base44 feels like a case study in lightning-fast validation. Have you seen data on retention after the viral spike, or was the exit driven mainly by top-line user numbers?
The solo-unicorn narrative finally has receipts. What’s less clear is whether Base44’s moat was tech, timing, or distribution—any insight on which mattered most?
Six months from hobby to $80 M exit is staggering. Do we know which metric—DAU, revenue, or partner logos—ultimately convinced Wix to pull the trigger?
Base44 just set the bar for AI solopreneurs—250 K users and profitable in months. Curious if Maor leaned more on influencer buzz or product-led referral mechanics to hit escape velocity.
Wild to see “vibe coding” turn a side project into an $80 M cash deal in half a year. Any breakdown on whether user growth was mostly organic loops or driven by those early eToro / Similarweb integrations?
Crazy

Huge respect for a bootstrapped team sharing $25 M with eight employees. Do we know how compensation like that affected early culture and pace?
