Ha my friend. I asked this exact question to myself. I tried going down the VC route but realized it's all a big scam and the numbers don't add up if you are genuinely trying to build something better.
What I ended up doing is stacking cash at large tech companies and then using that to quit and I finally ended up with a large cash cow business with $4 million profits (pre tax).
With hacking, you can get double digit and even triple digit millionaire in about 10 years. Trick is to be really earnest, build at the frontier of tech, market efficiently and treat it like a math problem. You are trying to optimize for enterprise value.
That is an impressive achievement. Kudos, my friend! There is still hope for me then? :)
I really think so. But man I went through the dark night of the soul to get here. It's not easy and when you see some of the most well known VCs such as a16z selling their souls for a seat at the table, it really gets to you and you have to insulate yourself to break through and break free.
