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 feel this pain. I've been building a couple of projects that all started as tools I really wanted personally. Then once I got prototypes and showed people, they had really good feedback. So then I put more time and energy into them. I know that narrowing my focus on any individual project really pushes it forward.
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.
Congrats on everything you’re building that’s an impressive amount to juggle! 🚀
From my experience, trying to balance multiple projects (plus a full-time job) always sounds doable at first… until the context switching starts to eat your energy and focus. You end up giving 30% to everything instead of 100% to one thing.
What’s worked best for me is picking one project to push toward a real proof of concept something that users actually use and ideally pay for. Once you have that, momentum (and validation) makes every next decision so much easier.
You clearly have great ideas, it might just be about giving one of them the space to truly grow.
"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?
