I had a similar situation with Physics PhD a few years ago. Now things have turned, I'm doing my startup and we urgently look for people like you.
Since I don't want to tamper my anonymity here, let me tell you a few tips:
First, find out for yourself whether you want to work in enterprises or startups. Whether you want to apply scientific methods/conduct private research or not.
I had a clear idea for myself: startup+research. Once you know this, you can basically let yourself "go with the flow": Look up interesting people and topics (at TED(x) conferences, at youtube, at fairs or conferences) and ask if you can work with them. Works best if they are CTO/CSO at their startup (such as I am) :-)
