The only option IMO would be to choose a business that you can „bootstrap“. This means that you can start with very little money and much labor and scale it slowly up to the point where you can successfully re-invest your profits into growth. I know a company that sells special wristwatches for surfers who did it that way. There are countless bootstrapped startups out there. Google that term.

That being said, you almost always need $1.000 - $5.000 if you want to even try running online ad campaigns. You get this capital from regular jobs plus good old saving or by selling things that you create with labor only (everything from lawn mowing to selling digital products on etsy and online in general).
