Ask HN: My startup is ramping up but I have no time. What next?
The last time I asked HN I wanted to know when I should be looking for funding. I have a great product, lots of quality traffic and a decent fan base. In the first year of business I've had 500,000 unique users to my site. It's a news site.
I have a full time job and do the project on the side. I've never thought of making money from it, but it would be nice to cover my hosting bills and maybe a car payment.
My problem is that my full time job takes up 3/4 of my day. It's 11pm right now and I'm still on a job related task. I don't see it letting up any time soon and I'm afraid that my time for the site will be limited.
Here's my question:
How do I find the time to go after investors and get some capital behind the project without quitting my day job but still have time to do it?
I can't let it die, it's my passion. It's what I think about when I wake up, while I work and before I sleep.

Any suggestions?
