Would love your opinion on what I should do

Hey all, my goal is to operate a company for a long term with equity. I intended on pursuing search, educated myself for multiple months, spoke to investors and was about to raise my fund.

However, I stumbled across an AI idea to help SMBs in my research and pitched it to a venture studio. It ended up moving forward in the process and theyre starting to build the MVP. Not sure how it will go, but the idea is promising and it may take a long time till I can draw a salary from this/go full time.

Would I be able to pursue search at the same time? I was not intending to go back to a job since I left mine to pursue search but this happened unexpectedly. What would you do?
