The opportunities are different, but the attitude of keeping your eyes open to opportunities and figuring out what works is still true.

The opportunities are different, but the attitude of keeping your eyes open to opportunities and figuring out what works is still true.
We are at a low point, where everything is gated and huge corporations will decide to scare your customers away. Of course, there are always lots of opportunities. But currently they are fewer.
Anyway, I do think we have already seen the bottom of that curve.
It is so noisy and crowded that I wonder if it is worth spending time and energy looking for opportunities.
Is it?
Who are the top players in pest-management software? How much of the market do they have? How much of the market wants another application because the existing ones don't cover their niche? How easy/difficult would it be to market to them?
I pulled Pest Management Software out of my ass because about 20 years ago I responded to a similar attitude by mentioning that while gardening I wondered if there was such a thing as pest management software (there is. It's a huge field) and also because last summer I was asked to build a small wireless interface to a mosquito sprayer so -- wait for it -- someone's mosquito control app could automatically monitor the amount that was being sprayed without the driver having to enter any data.
Opportunities are everywhere but you won't find them unless you look.
