You're making some implicit assumptions:
1. Your idea is a good.
2. You will succeed at your business.
2. You will make money quickly.
There's a good chance your idea won't work, and even if it does from what I've read SaaS takes a long time to make real money. And during that time you'll need to spend a lot of time talking to customers and trying to figure out what to do improve things for them.
So basically you need the dedication to spend the next 1-2 years of your life catering to people you don't like. On the face of it that seems unlikely. More likely you'll give up in six months.
Instead of going "idea -> do work", try going in reverse direction. Pick group of people you actually like, then do research on them, then get idea based on what you learn about their problems. Benefits are your idea is more likley to work, when you get discouraged you'll have evidence to look back to, and you'll actually enjoy your work which again makes it more likely you don't give up.

- dilemma1839 9y agoI’m researching the idea just as you do before you begin to build a business - and I think as entrepreneurs by our nature we’re implicitally employing a level of optimism and risk. My questions a bit more about balancing the morality.
