​I learned being a solo SaaS founder isnt for me

Backstory- Im 24 and have ran probably 5+ businesses so far. I cant code and have always done service/product businesses. Never SaaS

Recently i wanted to do a SaaS as I thought i had seen a big market opportunity. I posted in a discord that i was looking to get the MVP made, and after some interviews i found my person. So far it’s been great and hes done a phenomenal job.

Today i asked the dev how much in salary would he need to do this full time. He said he cant’t because he had his own startup.

This truthfully fucked me up because i am so used to being useful. I had to accept that being a solo SaaS founder would likely be the WORST thing i could be. Imagine me hiring a software engineer and then me, the ONLY founder, sitting in my office not writing a single piece of code. I’d lose my entire engineering team.

Should I keep trying to do service/product businesses or bust my ass to find a technical co founder who wants to do this with me?
