My knee-jerk reaction, which I freely concede deserves to be downmodded to oblivion:

Reading further though, it looks like you're basically hoping for somebody to give you $100k to 'get started'. For what?

In response to the 'earning' a benefactor, the obvious way to do that is to get started doing something. Build a prototype, get customers, look for venture capital. If seed capital isn't enough to get you going, then you need to do more before you seek investment.

In the meantime, get revenue, and pay off the $50k you owe. You're right that it's going to be hard to get capital with $50k in debt hanging over your head, but I can't imagine anybody, short of family, friends, or a good swindle, that would be willing to give you $50k to pay off your last mistake so that you can get started on a new one.

No offense meant, but there are so many great ideas waiting to be executed that can at least get to prototype level with close to zero capital outlay. Find one, attack it, demolish it.
