I can’t handle it all anymore: 3 SaaS projects and full-time job

Hey everyone, I’m Aleks — a developer with almost 25 years of experience building software in startups and large companies.
I’m currently a tech lead full-time… and somehow also running three SaaS projects on the side.

It always starts small — then suddenly turns into something big that demands 10x more attention than I can give.

Here’s what I’m juggling right now:

🚀 HypeDesk

All-in-one marketing platform for organic growth.
Helps founders discover launch opportunities, find leads, manage marketing assets, and automate outreach — all powered by AI.

Vision: To become a single platform with 100+ AI tools working together through one intelligent marketing agent.

📊 LandLift

Analytics built for landing pages.
Shows where visitors engage, where they leave, and how to improve — with clear, actionable insights instead of generic metrics.

Vision: An AI system that not only explains your data but actually improves your landing pages in real time.

🧱 Pagery

A simple yet powerful headless CMS for blogs, news, and documentation.
Supports reusable content blocks, structured content, and scalability.

Vision: A fully AI-first, autonomous CMS that plans, creates, and publishes content for you.

As you can imagine, this is… a lot 😅
I often feel like I could make 10x more progress if I worked full-time on these projects.

But right now, they’re all pre-revenue. $0 MRR.
So here’s my dilemma:

👉 Should I focus on getting at least $2K MRR before even thinking about investors?
👉 Or should I start talking to investors now, to see if anyone believes in the vision early?

I’ve already created a company and a simple website to present everything I’m building under one umbrella.

Would love to hear from other indie makers:

Have you raised before reaching MRR?
How did you decide it was the right time?
Is there a smart way to find investors who understand multi-product visions?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts 🙏

    I'm early in the journey of indiehacking, but I'd recommend one of the three projects and get it to some kind of revenue before getting investors. I think that helps with your own confidence and having leverage in investor negotiations.

    "Should I focus on getting at least $2K MRR before even thinking about investors?" - this one.

    Can I interest you in a usage exchange? I will use HypeDesk and LandLift if you will use my product Uclusion.

    BTW what would you even do with the investment if you had it?
