I started out freelancing and eventually built a consulting firm w/ a partner, I left around 50 people because selling time for money just never got fun.

Took a business partner, a couple engineers, and one of the products we had built for an old customer from the consulting firm (on good terms!) and built an enterprise SaaS product out of it, much happier working working with a small team on a product.

For me the value of working on lots of things was meeting lots of people I'd like to continue working with and getting product ideas.
