If you're going to try a business, probably best to try for something that bigger companies don't have a cheaper, better solution for. NIche market or something like that for something some people need.
Because no one is going to buy a die mounted on a small PCB when they could just buy the IC. Even a PCB with some discrete components on it...the unit is going on the customer's PCB anyways. They're going to have room (even save space) just using their PCB for the discrete components. The only real reason to do that is if you could get the die and the discrete components to be the same size as an IC (then it's a system-on-chip which you see floating around) Or think about it this way how much would you have to sell just to pay off the costs of the equipment?
