A few years ago I had a side application that did pretty well but I couldn't devote the time or money to take it to the next level. I think this would be easier to do when you're younger and don't (usually) have as serious family and financial obligations.

Another option is some kind of partnership if you can find someone that you can work with in this role. Some of the most successful developers I know have had a knack for finding the right business side people to partner with.

I agree with you, I think find someone else that can help me to reach my stakeholders would be a great option.

Finding an appropriate business partner can be more difficult than coding the product. It's an unfortunate reality that unless you find a good business minded partner, you won't likely succeed. :(
