Why I Stopped Building Multiple SaaS Projects to Go All-In on One Startup

For the past few years, I’ve been running on overdrive. Like many engineers-turned-founders, I had multiple SaaS projects on my plate — each with promise, each demanding time, each pulling me in different directions.

At some point, though, I realized something important: spreading myself across too many projects meant none of them got the focus they deserved.

The Turning Point

That’s when GlobalHireCareer came into the picture. It wasn’t just another SaaS idea. It was a real opportunity: solving cross-border recruitment challenges with a platform tailored for global but benchmarked against mature headhunting models overseas.

I had a strong business partner, a clear market gap, and a defined role. We formalized our partnership with an equity allocation agreement — I secured N% as a technical cofounder, responsible for building and delivering the platform.

For the first time, it felt like the foundation was solid enough to go all-in.

The Hard Decision

Walking away from other SaaS projects wasn’t easy. Some were already functional, some had loyal users, and some were close to going live. But I had to be honest with myself: chasing too many opportunities meant losing the bigger opportunity right in front of me.

So I made the call: I would stop splitting my time and fully contribute to GlobalHireCareer.

The Trade-Offs

Of course, there are risks:

• Putting all my energy into one company means if it fails, I fail with it.
• My equity share is fixed at 10%, so my upside depends heavily on the company’s growth.
• And, as every cofounder knows, trust and alignment with your partner are everything.

But there are rewards too:

• Speed — with full focus, I can build and iterate faster.
• Clarity — instead of juggling multiple identities, I’m Cofounder & Tech Lead of GlobalHireCareer.
• Credibility — focus signals commitment, and that commitment attracts partners, clients, and investors.

The Lesson

I learned that ideas are cheap, but focus is rare. As builders, we often want to test everything. But the projects that make it are usually the ones where the team goes all-in.

GlobalHireCareer is my bet on focus. My bet on partnership. My bet on building something that lasts.

Closing Thought

To fellow builders: Would you rather juggle ten projects that may never grow… or go all-in on one that could change everything?

For me, the answer is clear. I’ve chosen one mission. And I’m all in.
