You don’t need to own IP to start.

You don’t need to own IP to start. Given how many companies fail, to get to protecting IP is a long way. Most initial steps don’t have anything to do with your contract - coming up with ideas, learning, building MVPs, finding real needs in a market. Once you find an unmet need and you prove that out, then you can think about quitting your job to do it, or doing it while at the job (which i advise against). Also, you agreed to those terms so I don’t think it’s fair to abuse their(company you are currently working for) trust.
