There are many small niches that can sustain one person, but are too small to attract corporate attention.

I specialize in Berlin bureaucracy. Some guy reviews ebook readers. Sometimes, you have to think small, because everyone is busy thinking big.

That is the HN problem; everyone here wants to be a unicorn and acts like it (cloud hosting, microservices, serverless etc) while they will never be a unicorn or even close and would be happy with a small company making 10k a month (it would need to be profit in the west, but that’s not so hard in a niche).

100% agree with this. Look for things that serve needs of real people, but where the scale is too small to be interesting to VCs.
