A lot of business have your niche or micro localization. It don't become a unicorn, but can make money sufficiently to be a life style business. As some saas are like grocery store.

Maybe the author is talking about this type of "local/nich tech business"... No?

Watched a talk that the CEO gave, and he describes it by analogy to YouTube.

Before YouTube, it was difficult and expensive to broadcast video. YouTube made it effortless, and therefore a bunch of people showed up and created all kinds of things... Some are stupid and weird, others are very lucrative for the creators.

He says that Koji wants to do the same thing for code/apps/interactive content.

This is a very fair point. Many successful businesses are not multi-billion dollar unicorns. I think the question then is, can an aggregator for software-based lifestyle businesses make Koji itself a billion-dollar platform? I'm curious to see where it will go.
