> My broader point is that if you want to build a business there's a ton of opportunity if you're not overly picky on what that opportunity looks like.
That point was already firmly established before you arrived. What were you hoping to add?
> You might be mixing up opportunities within the tech industry with using tech to build a business within other industries.
Industry doesn't matter. An economy is all connected. What does matter is that at some point your sale needs a "final destination". If you sell to another business, they are going to need to pass the need on to the next hop. If they fail to do that, they will go out of business, and soon you will too.
That means either a consumer, someone with angel money to burn, or government (which is, as it pertains to this discussion, basically the same as angel money). Angel money keeps a lot of these B2B businesses alive. You might not need to accept the angel money directly, but someone needs to in order to support the system we have.
