Starting any business is very very very hard work. Creating a new product from nothing, is very very hard work. Combining the 2 means you have an insane amount of work to do.
That leaves you to be CEO and R&D and manufacturing.
How do you think marketing and sales fits into that? And finance and strategy?
Those are the pitfalls and a reason to better not do startup alone.
There are freelance sales people that will sell your product for a fee, with the advantages of using their network and their feedback in an early stage of development (if they say they can’t sell it, stop your work).
For now: you have a ton of experience and are invaluable for any employer. See this as an investment and see you get a return.

- theiz 4y agoThis is quite common in Europe, not sure on other areas now. These are people that have worked as account manager and decided to start their own business. I know one that has worked for Accenture, one ex Microsoft. They work for a percentage normally and with that it is in their benefit to sell as much of your product as possible. They have their network and knowledge, I liked working that way a lot.
