If you have a personal edge and good financial contacts and a very developed idea, you might be able to raise money to get it started, with the hope that you’d be swallowed up by one of these big players later. But this is an increasingly hard time to raise money and starting up a project like this is mostly an abstract endeavor involving lots of phone calls and emails and spreadsheets.
If you’re passionate about the idea, you should just try to get a job at one of the many places already doing this. You’ll spend more time making something there and feel a lot closer to your idea becoming reality, even if it has somebody else’s signature on it as well.
