Airbnb started as "stay on an air mattress in a stranger's house for money" if you don't call that niche, what is?

Yes, but who starts by targeting millions of customers? Every successful company starts small and grows from there. Facebook started with elite colleges. AirBnB started with couch surfers, etc.

Like I said: For bootstrappers, you need to target a market that’s total size is in the millions, or, is worth 10s of millions. Zen Planner targets the fitness training market: 60,704 businesses, worth $10 billion. WPengine targets WordPress sites: 37,500,000 potential sites.

I’d like to another dimension to this (really interesting debate): “People’s habits/ behaviors define the value of a niche”. I agree w/
@mijustin’s view — I think it’s better to identify pools where members’ inherent habits favor you than not. -
But
@tylercowen@mubashariqbal are also right in that you HAVE to start small. Taking a bet on a (small) pool that’s buzzing with activity over a large yet sloth-like market is the sensible move IMO.

The opportunity existed because all the hotel rooms were booked up.
Their history, from the beginning, is about being in the same market as hotels.
