Not too late. You've probably derisked the product side a but since you already have years of experience building technical products. You just need to learn the basics of running a business now, and get comfortable with sales and marketing.
I'm 32 and just started a solopreneur bootstrapped business. I have much more confidence now than when I was in my 20s.
The biggest thing is that I'm more patient now. In your 20s, it's easy to feel like you need everything right now. But as you get older, you learn patience. I'm still impatient at times, but I also feel more comfortable saying I'll spend the next 4 years trying things, than trying to race to success and giving up at the first sign of trouble.
From what I've seen, the people who start successful businesses in their 20s are from generational wealth and can afford the career risk, or their parents are entrepreneurs. Then you also have the people who have been coding since they were 8 years old, so by the time they are 20 already have 10 years of experience. Plus, code has the wild scalability of infinite permissionless leverage (as does social media), so it's possible to make millions from your bedroom as a high school or college student.
In short, give it a shot for a year. If you hate it, you can always go back to a job to learn from your mistakes on someone else's dollar!
