Another alternative: don't build something huge, don't get funding from VCs, build a comfortable business for yourself instead of a gimmicky trend that will be irrelevant in a few years. I feel like this is really underrated these days, if you spend the time truly earning it, not only is it more rewarding but the company may last more than 3-4 years.
Build a small focused product to generate some revenue, then hopefully that will give you time and financial freedom to build more complex products down the road.
