How to get a job so I can fund my startup?

Question

It seems like I cant find any part-time jobs that are relevant to my career, which is biz dev / customer success / sales startup roles. It seems to be theres only full-time roles, however I cant really afford to have a full-time job and work on my startup too since I wont have time for both.Any suggestions?

Can you consult? So, rather than have a part time job, actually go out and find a few clients?
Not sure where you are located, but in the USA this is possible.
An alternative would be to get a full time job, but make sure there is a carve out for work you do on your own that is unrelated to the job, and work nights/weekends.
Final alternative is to work full time and just save save save, then quit and work while living on savings.
Not sure of your financial situation and obligations, so hard to recommend any of these above the others.

It is hard to find part time sales/biz dev roles from larger companies. By the time they are looking to hire, they are looking for a full time person because they have a (mostly) full time need. Especially if there is commission involved, then it just continues to feed into the more, more, more...
Source: Before moving into consulting, I ran sales teams.
I would imagine that Customer Success would be easier to find on a less than full-time basis.
Consulting as Mooreds pointed out could be a good solution. Could you consult or do paid work for clients within the realm of what your start-up is going to be doing?
