Part-Time Founders is a resource hub for developers who want to earn extra income using their technical skills, without quitting their day job.

Built with AI, Enhanced with Experience
Part Time Founders was built using modern AI tools to accelerate development and content creation, allowing us to focus on what matters most: delivering valuable insights and resources.
While AI helped us build the foundation and structure, the real value comes from the authentic experiences, lessons learned, and practical knowledge that I'm continuously adding based on my years of building side projects, freelancing, and helping other developers succeed.
This approach allows us to:
- Ship faster and iterate based on community feedback
- Focus on creating genuinely helpful content rather than just building websites
- Continuously improve and expand resources based on real user needs
- Maintain high-quality standards while scaling our impact
Every piece of advice, strategy, and recommendation is grounded in real-world experience and results. The AI helps us organize and present this knowledge effectively, but the insights come from actual entrepreneurial journeys and developer success stories.
Our Story
Many talented developers want to earn extra income and build something of their own, but don't know where to start or which path to take.
After years of experimenting with different side hustles, from freelancing and building products to technical writing and mentoring, I realized that each path has its own unique advantages, challenges, and potential for income.
What started as a personal blog documenting my journey has evolved into a comprehensive resource hub designed to help developers find the right path for their skills, interests, and goals.
Today, Part Time Founders serves thousands of developers worldwide who are looking to leverage their technical skills to create additional income streams while maintaining the security of their day jobs.
Why We Built This
Freedom & Flexibility
We believe developers should be able to create income on their own terms, without sacrificing the stability of full-time employment.
Reduce Risk
Starting small and part-time allows developers to test ideas and build skills with minimal risk before making bigger commitments.
Multiple Paths
There's no one-size-fits-all approach to side income. We help developers find the path that best matches their skills and lifestyle.
Our Values
Practical Over Theoretical
We focus on actionable advice and real-world case studies rather than get-rich-quick schemes or theoretical concepts. Everything we share has been tested in the real world.
Community First
We believe in the power of community and shared knowledge. Our goal is to create a supportive environment where developers can learn from each other's successes and failures.
Quality Over Quantity
We prioritize creating thorough, high-quality resources that provide genuine value over producing large volumes of superficial content. Each guide and case study is carefully crafted to be as helpful as possible.
Meet the Founder
Vinod Sharma
Hi, I'm Vinod! I've spent the last 25 years working in various roles such as a full-stack developer, development & release manager, Agile transformation leader while experimenting with various side business. I've written blog, guides, and ebooks, built SaaS products, run a web agency, mentored developers and product managers, and created online courses.
Through these experiences, I've learned what works, what doesn't, and how to balance side hustle with a full-time job. I created Part Time Founders to share these lessons and help other developers find their own path to extra income and creative fulfillment.
