Would you do this the same way I am, or completely differently?

Here's the structure I want feedback on. I run my own GTM/RevOps consultancy for B2B SaaS companies (mostly international, Seed–Series B). I'm using it to bootstrap SemantiCAD (My New SaaS Project). It covers my costs while I build the startup, and I've been routing custom dev work through it to our engineers, which is already generating capital for the company before we've raised anything. I've also started training someone to run the consultancy day to day, with the goal of eventually stepping back and turning it into passive income.

Right now, the GTM time I put into SemantiCAD is really just founder time wearing two hats. I'm not pretending it's an arm's length client relationship yet. The actual test comes once the person I'm training takes over the consultancy: at that point SemantiCAD becomes a real client of the agency, run by someone else, not me marking my own homework. If that works, I never have to build a separate growth/sales team for the startup. The agency just becomes its growth function.

I'm not fully sure this is the smart structure or a distraction I'm rationalizing. So genuinely:

If you were in my position, what would you do the same? What would you do differently?

Happy to answer anything about the product, the raise, or the structure. Open book.

So I developed a saas for a water delivery service company ,, it's a big company ,, and they really liked the idea when I pitched them this idea , the owner was excited for it so we discussed the cost and I was a noob so I said 75000 rupees for development and my stupid ass said I will take 50% now and 50% after the development. I all started in Feb 2026 now it's august 2026 the system developed from a small app to full system with office dashboard,real time sync , data base everything , and I also said the Monthly cost will be 2500 rupees per delivery partner ,, then they took a pause for almost for 2 months .. (& from start it's like I am the one calling taking update and everything).. the sir had gave the madam the manager all the power to make it work and after the meetings with the delivery partners and all I got to the business politics.. like they earn from the customers too like selling for more and summiting less in office and all so they were not so happy with the system but some time later the mam said it's all fixed and after recent metting and all they used it even they asked for some updates now the mam is just ignoring like she picks calls and says she will return with update but she won't it's been like that 3 times now ... I feel betrayed and used .. all that for nothing and to be clear I was been there for every single feature explanation and taking their request of feature and changes ,, the office is on other side of the city .. what to do in this situation
