May 8, 2026 Freelance Opportunities!
Apply for a podcasting microgrant, report on video games, go to a solo summit
The view is better from the top at the Solo Summit
The Lettuce Solo Summit is a free, one-day virtual conference on May 14th where every session is a working masterclass, and every attendee leaves with something they can use that day.
We surveyed 600+ solopreneurs and found a clear pattern: the ones who grow aren't more talented, they're more intentional. They've each found their version of what works. This Summit helps you find yours. Sessions include a financial framework from a CPA who strategizes for solos, a positioning statement that makes you the obvious choice, an AI critique of your LinkedIn visuals, and a partner strategy to turn your existing network into a real pipeline.
Two tracks. Eleven sessions. All led by experts who know what it takes to make the climb.
