For example, video chat apps will actually have a hard time because there are dominant competitors on the market already (think Zoom, Google Meet). Entering this market will require 1.5x-3x times the marketing budget of a dominant competitor, which requires a lot of venture capital, and doesn’t sound like it can be done via a customer-funded approach.
