♞ Exploitable Niche

I believe this is a niche that many of you can exploit to build great businesses.

Speaking with investors lately, there is a strong feeling that AI will finally crack many industries that were resistant to change, even those that survived without modernizing over the last 20 years. One of the things that many VCs tell me is that they are looking for people with the credentials to revolutionize industries that others are prohibited from.

For example, it can be very difficult to start a legaltech company if you are not a lawyer, the lawsuits and legal issues can pile up quickly, as the company or individuals “providing” legal services can face significant repercussions. There, if you are a lawyer who understands AI well enough to build an innovative legal tech company, that is something investors want to back. You have the protection from the government (only other lawyers can compete with you), and you have a unique mix of skillsets (AI and legal).

Suppose you have this type of regulatory advantage + technical knowledge. In that case, this is an excellent opportunity for you, and it's something you need to be able to communicate and pitch to VCs. Let’s look at industries where this may work:

Do you ever wish you could connect with one person who could drastically improve your business? Whether it's an advisor, investor, customer, spokesperson or key hire, now you can. I recently started a new job, supporting promising Canadian startups in securing their first $1-$15M in funding. The #1 way I have connected with founders is through Boardy. Boardy is an AI networking agent on WhatsApp that connects you to people in his network based on your goals. Thanks to Boardy I’ve met so many great founders that I never would have otherwise. Boardy has already helped founders close millions in deals through intros like this. If you want to be one person closer to your goals, message Boardy on WhatsApp.

Finance - Lots of different types of financial advice, mortgages, etc. require licenses and those without can struggle to break into the industry.
Real Estate - In many jurisdictions, this is highly regulated, and you need to be either an agent or a property manager to start offering services.
Medicine - This is the one I am most excited about, as it also has a huge barrier to entry, largely due to the regulatory hurdles, given the specific knowledge requirements.
Food/Agriculture - While the regulatory requirements may not be stringent here, they tend to be lengthy to acquire, and the knowledge gained from experience is invaluable.

If you are in any of these industries (or another that I might have missed that is highly regulated) you should consider whether you can present to investors a unique combination of tech/AI knowledge and regulatory ability to innovate. While many founders start to bring AI to new industries, some will require industry experts to revolutionize them from within, and those are some of the investment opportunities some VCs are dying to back.

Big investors are buying this “unlisted” stock

When the founder who sold his last company to Zillow for $120M starts a new venture, people notice. That’s why the same VCs who backed Uber, Venmo, and eBay also invested in Pacaso.

Disrupting the real estate industry once again, Pacaso’s streamlined platform offers co-ownership of premier properties, revamping the $1.3T vacation home market.

And it works. By handing keys to 2,000+ happy homeowners, Pacaso has already made $110M+ in gross profits in their operating history.

Now, after 41% YoY gross profit growth last year alone, they recently reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO.
