Not meant to sound like a complaint - just an explanation that I'm trying to use my next role as a spring board to my ultimate path. I generally enjoy working.
By properly develop I mean actually make a commercial version, I'm currently building a functional prototype on my own, but I don't have the expertise to release a proper-public version without help. I've tried getting freelancers in before, but it hasn't worked (due to the nature of the project). I really need people who are able to work on it full time.
I'm saying I don't have enough capital to go out and rent office space/hire full time people etc. I'm trying to bootstrap my startup and not use external capital.
Yes, I currently work on my startup in my spare time.

Not sure what you are complaining about. Funds shouldn't be a problem if you already have an income. Should be able to start and figure it out.
Are you not comfortable working on your own start up after 5PM (after you are done with your main job duties)? Sounds like you DO want comfortable 9-5. In this case "I want to be somewhere where people want to push the envelope " sounds hypocritical.
