Hm, I don't understand what you mean by "niche"...codeacademy is much MORE niche than Can't Wait, at least right now...a lot more people watch movies than program.

Remember, what the startup does when it begins is not what it will grow into. Facebook was a place you could make a simple profile as a Harvard student. Microsoft made a Basic compiler (talk about niche at that time!).
