Don't take the Saudi money. Don't take any money.
Just build it, and ship it. Work a regular job and work on your startup at night.
Create a product and charge very little for it. Wipe out the competition with a better / cheaper product.
Once you think you are having an effect, short your competitor. Continue to ship your as good or better product for 1/3 the cost.
Take down the world powers.
Just an idea.
