Great! Looking forward to talking :) If I were you, I'd do everything possible to answer your initial question (is web scraping a viable business) before bringing other people and their money into it. Everything gets much, much harder once other people's time and money is involved (both the process of convincing them, AND the potential process of realizing you were wrong). There's lots of ways to build a business, so take my advice with a grain of salt. But especially if you're worried about it, I'd highly recommend focusing on getting to a few paying customers before involving VCs or employees. If you're here asking that question, you can be sure they will be too (minus the initial conviction you have). (The one exception is a co-founder! It's lonely starting a company, so you should definitely consider trying to find a co-founder that you love working with.)
