Forget about staring your own corp. At least until you understand the in and outs of running one. Find experienced individuals that are and have been running a corp for a while and fly under their banner for a while so that you can learn the mechanics of the game and of the corp operations. Then think about staring your own corp.
Well... newbies CAN start their own corps. That's fine. It is just not recommended that they do so for the reasons you implied (lack of understanding of the mechanics, lack of experience, no support network).
But if newbies have the "right mentality" (see: they do not fear doing things the hard way and are enjoy learning from or painting their experiences in the best possible light) then it is okay.
I too recommend newbies to start in more established corps... especially those that do PvP (even if the newbie wants to do something other than PvP).
For the OP:
You have goals. Good. But might I suggest setting some more reasonable ones first? Jump Bridges are a powerful mechanic but they require a fair bit understanding about PvP and tactics to be used properly. Capitals ships in particular are tricky as they require large amounts of skills, tactical experience, and mechanical knowledge to use properly
Change isn't bad, but it isn't always good. Sometimes, the oldest and most simple of things can be the most elegant and effective.

In simplest terms, you have to know whether or not...
- that your cyno ship is going to survive long enough to maintain the cynosaural field.
- that your group can actually fight the person(s) you are dropping on.
- that you don't hit the wrong button on the Titan and jump that ship in instead of your fleet... as the second titan (the Leviathan) you see in this video did.
You learn most of this by doing regular PvP in regular ships... and (like most things) being on the receiving end of such encounters.

EVE Online is basically a libertarian's wet-dream. A futuristic "Guilded Age" with liberal amounts of "Wild West" and 17th century "Privateering."
Being bigger, smarter, tougher, or richer will take you far. Having all of the above at your disposal will allow you to dominate. If you want to get to that point, start smart. Then amass riches. Be tougher than most. And then gather those like you.
