Another important aspect is what kind of business are you looking to build?

Big ideas may be 'disruptive' but can require a lot of VC investment to scale enough to be self supporting. Other ideas may be great businesses but not really suitable for VC. Some companies may be more sales oriented, others may be able to lean more on the product selling itself. It also depends on your motivation, is it to 'change the world' or just do something you find interesting with like minded people that can pay the bills and maybe eventually provide financial independence. You may not need to even start a company, with so many boomers retiring you might be able to take over an already established and profitable company.
