My suggestion (which if I had not made financial mistakes in years past I would be doing now) is building my own personal accelerator - basically decide on a stack, find five cool ideas (with some audience) and build the products with at least one co-founder for each idea. When one idea completely misses kill it quick and pluck a new one out. Spread the risk of one idea failing like VCs do but keep most of the upside.
