#351) Several months (say... November '09?). Spending about 2-3 months to build and launch each project (trying to get something with a little traction).
2) Never applied.
3) Not even close. Highly doubtful anyone wants to invest in my part-time startups, though angels might be more into this than VCs...
Re: Ask HN: Are you a single founder ?
#361) Since June 2006. Last year gave equity to two team members in exchange for work they already completed.
2) Didn't apply
3) Didn't start looking. It's bootstrapped so far and I want to continue doing it this way until I no longer can. Not that there are any valley-type VCs in Saudi Arabia, but was approached by a couple of interested investors. One didn't really get web startups. Still in talks with the other one though. Investment is not currently needed, but can certainly accelerate growth.

Re: Ask HN: Are you a single founder ?
#401) 6 months
2) Never applied, probably not the right idea/goals for it. Plus don't live in CA.
3) No VC, but who knows what the future holds. Just a for-fun project scratching my own itch at this point.
