As a consultant who helps startups build prototypes (used to, though still I still do from time to time) it was actually mostly people who worked day jobs but dreamed of being their own boss and building out their "crazy idea". For me, the "risk" the their idea didn't work out and I'd need to go "job hunting" again is baked into the price - the longer you can promise to pay me, the lower my rate could theoretically be (yes, there are other factors, but this was a big lever)
