Have you considered seeking out a position at an existing tech company doing something you feel is worthwhile? If your primary goal is to build something you're proud of, there's nothing that says you have to do it on your own. There's also no reason why working for someone else has to be a soul-sucking experience. There are lots of great companies out there. Especially since your primary focus isn't simply salary, you can afford to be a bit more discerning in the companies and positions you'll consider.
