True but that’s from a tech angle, right?

I mean - it all depends how big you want to build (what if you do a single feature very good) + you tailor your operation for a niche group of customers based on your first wave of initial POCs/pilots. You can run a great solo business with 10-20 customers.

Walk down the street and knock on local businesses doors. Ask for tech problems. Each one has a few. Ask if they would pay for it. Define for yourself if that income would justify your time/ambition/purpose. AI is hyper-hype but none of BigTech knows how to sell it and purely focus on large enterprises w a mix of fomo/experimentation.

This. Whoever doesn’t respond to OP’s outreach - the problem defined is not big enough or not known yet.
