I believe this is how many companies get started. You consult a lawyer, build things in your free time, then rent it back to your old employer as a SaaS and maybe give them 10% off for being your first customer.

A company that runs call centers doesn't wanna make call center software but if they can buy call center SaaS (or whatever) that makes them more efficient they're happy and the guy they're buying from is happy.
