Don't give up. Just publish it, if you know your invention is better. Devtool VCs will give you money based on the growth of your GitHub stars, popularity and the size of community. I can even intro you to some - but it can't be to "burn angel money". You'd just have to commit to build a DB company for 10yrs. Devtool community building is low effort: Discord channel and you can write code in 1 window, and talk in another as your thing is testing/compiling.
