Work at a startup on a founding team. So not as founder or cofounder, but person #3 or #4. If the startup sells for $20M then you've made $1M, assuming equity of 5%.
You'd have to prove to the founders that you're on their level, in passion and a combination of domain knowledge, contacts or skill/intelligence/talent, and that you're willing to go the long haul.
Why not do a startup yourself? Risk, time and momentum.
If making a million is like reaching the top of a building, you'll have to start climbing stairs. Find some people that have already created an escalator, and then with them create an elevator.
These are some YC Startups, http://workatastartup.org/ http://workatastartup.org/ but you could just as easily go through crunchbase (eg the new additions) or something similar (a launch blog) to see what excites you.
