Let me tell you a little secret... You don't need to be a developer to be an entrepreneur, you are not in advantage to other non-dev entrepreneurs, and you are most probably worse entrepreneur than others.

The better entrepreneurs are the ones with sales, marketing and growth hacking skills, the ones who "fake it till they make it", etc. If you are all that, you are probably a not-so-good dev anyway.

If you wanna be an entrepreneur, learn how to be one, not how to be a better dev. Once you are a good entrepreneur, you'll get funds and hire good devs, that's the only valid way. If you can't get funding, you never had a chance anyway. (unless you are 0.01%)

I just hope "entrepreneur" is more than just selling courses online/dropshipping/shopify sites.

I remember one time I got sucked into this blogger guy/persona like a Purple Elephant, and they sounded so welcoming. I hit them up to ask for tips and they're like "yeah sure you got $500?" I had to laugh I was like oh...

Raising significant funds based on neither prototype nor personal record sounds impossible. How would one do so?

I know it does, but people still do it. I guess small budget for bootstraping, no-code, angel investors, and who knows what else, whatever it takes. Don't get me wrong, being a dev certainly helps, but you will probably still need one of those things. The competition is very high in this world.
