>I've tried numerous attempts over the last 20 years to start a software business as a solo founder
Get a co-founder or co-founders, things should get easier that way and 20 years is a lot of time so I think you must be doing something fundamentally wrong maybe solo founding :/
>I'm building a programmable PostgreSQL proxy in Rust.
I would suggest you to shift your focus to consumer software because it's really hard to get into SaaS industry although I see lots of SaaS companies getting millions of dollars of funding but without having a clue on how they are going to build recurring(steady) revenue.
