I interviewed [1] Łukasz Kidzinski and Michał Warchoł who started deepart.io. Your situation in academia and interest in possibly building something more commercial mirrors their situation in certain respects. Maybe their story will prove inspiring in some way. One of the most interesting parts of our conversation for me was how they were taking software development methods like Agile and applying them to the research they are doing in academia. Given your age and a secure role in academia it seems to me that side projects and possibly consulting is your route into the commercial world.
