I work a full-time job and I still have time for my side projects. If it's not making any money yet, it's a side project. I plan to take at least a couple of months off and work on these full time, but they're still just side projects . Otherwise, you're basically gambling. The odds of being able to develop software solo that turns into something profitable, are not in your favor. The idea is solid, but say you're the CTO of a tech startup. Would you trust this software with handling your data. Even if your intentions are good, I strongly doubt you have the money to hire a QA team to make sure you're not accidentally dropping data all over the place. Even if you give it out for free, it poses an unacceptable level of risk. My side projects are almost entirely video games, the worst that happens is it crashes and you have to restart the game. I download random games from Itch.io all the time, as an individual I can take the risk on a strange binary breaking my Windows install. I would never do this in a corporate environment. I hope I wasn't too harsh, but this is an extremely difficult field to break into since the barrier to entry is so high. Realistically, you would need a small team. Alternatively, let's just say you create another product. If you can prove your solution as a component of that, then maybe you'll be able to convince others to take the risk.
