It's impossible to give advice to others on this without knowing almost as much about the problem space as you do. One can find plenty of stories of someone pursuing a project until they were bankrupt and it never worked out. It's more difficult to find as many stories like yours primarily because they aren't as gut-wrenching. But they are out there. I wish I, or anyone, could help with this but unless you have someone intimately familiar with your situation, I don't think we could.
