As a solo founder of a SaaS launching next month, I tracked my time and am at 1350ish hour in the past 10 months. This is my first startup so I made some mistakes along the way with future creep so deadlines got pushed. I worked around 35 - 40 hours outside of my full-time job a week. Felt really burnt out so skipped one month of work 3 months ago but finally trying to get into the mindset of sales and marketing.
I do think though this is all entirely dependent on the scope of your project.
- TremendousJudge 8y agoso you've been working 80 hours a week for almost a year now?
- _hyn3 8y agoThis is the norm in any high-growth startups, or at least it was for me. A few people seem to fall into things that don't require working all the time, but 16 hour days and two day weekends seem completely normal to me now.
- jordiee 8y agoYes. Here is to hoping it starts slowing down now that the development is done and I can automate some of the sales/marketing process.
