I've built several successful SaaS/DaaS startups since I quit my last job back in 2005; mostly just for freedom. (money too I guess)

I went to checkout your profile as I was interested in seeing what products you've made, and I saw on your website you've got a mailto link. I was thinking of adding the same thing to my site, but I'm worried about crawlers picking up my email and using it for spam. Has this happened to you at all - do you get much spam?

I suppose. I have a pretty good spam filter however.

Do you think this can be done as a solo dev/founder, or do you eventually need more than 1 person (and when does that "eventually" occur in your experience)?

Also do you have thoughts on bootstrapping your SaaS versus getting funding for additional hires?

I'm still single founder for most of my businesses - although it has drawbacks.

I've never looked for nor accepted funding. Freedom is my main motivation, and it is limited somehow when you accept money. And for complete freedom you must go it alone.

In my latest project however (poidata.xyz) I'm a co-founder.
