The OP reads misanthropic to me, and that's a large stumbling block to what you suggest. Building good products generally requires quite a bit of talking to people. And the (personally, financially) valuable ones very often plug into all that "corporate bullshit", so understanding it--and understanding why it exists past the prima facie cynical explanation--is often important, too.
I have to disagree. You don't have to be a misanthrope to be fed up with the wasted time in a company environment. Making your own product is a lot of fun and requires interaction with your users which is an entirely different, and motivating thing. Having done that for 10 years, i can not justify the time wasted doing futile things or meetings in a typical company environment.
