>a real gap in the market

Is there a market in the gap though? Often the reason there is a gap is because it isn't a viable market, not because nobody thought of it.

Things are not always what they seem. I’ve started multiple companies that appear to be not viable but once you’ve made something and shown value, all of a sudden everybody wants it.

I mean good gosh just think about Uber, WhatsApp, YouTube - like anyone would ever want that at one time. The world is a big place. Most undervalued lesson early in life.

There definitely are lucrative and unexploited niches. But, in my experience, the majority of unexploited niches are unexploited for a reason.
