The most successful side project I ever had was an SaaS business I cobbled together in two weeks of Christmas break sophomore year of college. It paid the bills for the rest of college.
This sprint sounds like a great way to force constraint on yourself. Make sure you're using that constraint. Don't work on this like you would any other project. You need to be fully aware of the deadline, and constrain features within it.
If you're making an SaaS, the the first thing you should do is setup payments. That will give you confidence that this sprint can actually result in some real revenue. Then, you can build out the features.
Also, don't experiment with any new technologies. Use only what you know, and prefer shitty spaghetti code over well-architected solutions. Just get this shit out the door.
