I thought VC would want you to commit 100% to their funded startup. How could you persuade them to let you run 3 companies? Very interesting.

- yakshaving_jgt 6y agoThere are a couple of things at play here: 1. The two bootstrapped projects predate the VC-funded one. 2. The VC-funded project is the only one I work full-time at. Three businesses doesn't mean three full-time working weeks squashed into the space of one calendar week. The original motivation for going all-in on my own projects was that as an employee/contractor, it doesn't matter how many business processes you optimise — your expected number of working hours per week remains constant. I wanted to scale my own time, which is worth more to me than the sacrifices I've had to make along the way. It's not for everyone.
