I do. In the past I worked on making a small team for my game development company, but with time I realized I was a lot happier working on the technical details of development than on team management and all that stuff. So I slowly faded to solo :) and I changed the profile of my company a lot too: then I was focused on developing games and related stuff for companies, now I work on independent tech r&d for companies. Working like that, I produced RV tech for advertising for Intel, some 3d and computer vision stuff, and nowadays I'm working on developing a massive video broadcasting software, to list some examples.

Working solo has many advantages and disadvantages... you get a lot more freedom, for one, but you also miss having an interesting team around you at many times. Also, you get a lot more responsibility on what you develop, but at the same time you can better choose what to do with your time. And your costs are a lot lower, so in some projects you can really make a lot of money that, at the end of the day, is almost all yours. And so on, there are lots of pros and cons I could list here from my experience with it.
