Hello,
Aron here with ValidatorAI.com 

I've spent the last year speaking at events, because I went deep on one thing that really interests me: Domain names. The history of them, how they become valuable, why good ones matter for branding. I went all in, sharing my expertise and networking with others like me. What started out as a fascination grew to something much bigger.

That narrow obsession opened more doors than anything broad I ever tried. Friendships, deals, introductions, opportunities, all from one specific corner of the internet I decided to own.

Interestingly, our data shows most founders do the opposite. They pick ideas in spaces they don't know well, chasing what sounds interesting rather than what they're uniquely positioned to build.

Our data shows founders who have genuine proximity to their problem move forward at measurably higher rates. When you know the space deeply the customer is familiar, the problem is obvious, and the first step is clear. You don't need to convince anyone the problem exists; you already know who to contact and what to build first. And your natural excitement and obsession keep you in the game when things get difficult.

What this means for you:

Pick the thing you know better than most people and build something in that space. Talk about the topic endlessly on your site, on LinkedIn, on socials, at events, and wherever people gather around that topic. Become the trusted expert that is obsessed with your corner of the market.

The internet rewards knowledge depth.
Being the most interesting person on one specific topic is findable, citable, and memorable. Opportunities find you instead of the other way around.

We've tried to apply this at ValidatorAI too. We don't cover the entire startup journey, we study one narrow moment: what happens when someone first has an idea, before anything gets built. That focus has led to 20,000 sites linking to us, Google and LLMs respecting our insights and big companies paying attention to our data because nobody else is watching that specific moment as closely.

Going narrow works.
Start with what you already know, it’s your advantage hidden in plain sight.
