Impossible. You can't even feed yourself and will die before then. > effectively deduct all employed salaries This is only useful if you have income to deduct. It's less useful than a fund raise to begin with. > You can only offer 75k to junior engineers As above. I have $0 then I can't offer anything to anyone. > You only need to reach a valuation of 10 million after 5 years In the past there have been cases of higher valuation from just demos or outsourced MVPs. As long as you have the connections than the engineers. This is valuation not earnings from an actual product.
