I wonder if you can utilize an Academic environment as a company funding source...
I was inspired from your story, actually I am fed up working for others I am thinking seriously for a change. So I was thinking for a PhD as a form of working my own idea via a scholarship scheme.
So I can have all the time some income to implement your idea. Do you think that is a good plan or the academia will suck my time like a black home?
I didn't want to go too theoretical and went for a Bachelor in Software Engineering. So my context is somewhat different from an academic study, but I have seen some students that were allowed to graduate on a project while working in/on their own company. (promoting entrepreneurship was a hot item even back around 2002's)
But... 🤔 I believe there was an established company with a solid revenue stream in all of those cases.
You might want to check out if/how this would work since it wouldn't surprise me that those Academic instances have their own set of rules and strings attached to these kinds of scenarios...
In short: I think nobody's going to pay you to work on your own idea unless it is validated and viable in some way or another 🤷🏻♂️

Well the University itself won't pay me but a scholarship from a 3rd party may, specifically the MEXT one from Japaneese Goverment. So in case that I have a "wage" I can work on my idea as long as I can prove that the research results offer an academic value.

Good one. I like your mindset.

There's no need to offer a product upfront ;).
That sounds like a cool opportunity! I wish you all the best 💪🏻
