Founding Volunteer City Host — New York
About OPC Community OPC Community is a global community and resource hub for AI-era solo founders, one-person companies, indie builders, and high-leverage individuals. OPC stands for One-Person Company: a real, scalable business operated by a single founder using AI tools, automation, software, contractors, and global distribution leverage instead of defaulting to a traditional full-time team. We believe more people will build meaningful independent businesses in the AI era — but building alone should not mean being isolated. That is why we are building OPC Community: a place where solo founders can find support, connection, useful resources, launch opportunities, local gatherings, and shared growth.
