cacert are free certificates but the root certificates are not frequently preinstalled on browsers and mobile phones.
I was told that Microsoft asks around 10k$/year to add a root certificate in its browser. Add to this the cost to validate the certification process.
If you can get user's cooperation so that they can install the root certificate, you may go with cacert certificates.
The more web sites uses cacert, the more chances you will have that the cacert root certificate is preinstalled.
Regarding startup opportunity, as long as there is a problem and/or the opportunity to do something useful, the opportunity exists.
You might also be interested to follow the progress of my project http://dis.weebly.com because one of my objective is to do something in this field. But I am afraid it won't help juwo for is current problem.
