I would advise being prepared to slide along the consulting/product continuum depending on your ability to raise funding. If your startup is good, you shouldn't have to rely on consulting, unless investors are too stupid to realize it (which does happen). The thing I notice most about your post, though, is the use of the singular. I'd get a cofounder if I were you.
