>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.

I think that solo founders can accomplish much more today than they could 5 years ago, and the belief that solo founders are inferior to cofounders is old-fashioned to me. i wish that people could wake up and get with the times.

Stats show that startups with single founders tended to last longer and eventually achieve higher revenue.

52% startups that succesfully exited has 1 founder
