Care to explain? THese are areas that people (especially those with disposable income) are prepared to spend their money. Find a problem that people WANT fixing. Sure, other ideas might be cooler, or more 'fun' to work on, but you know - someone has to pay.
Those aren't just competitive spaces -- those are almost the paradigmatic examples of concepts that have repeatedly failed over the past two decades to demonstrate business value, but that startups and investors keep returning to like Kipling's burnt fool.
Those are concepts that are highly competitive because they have near-zero barriers to entry, while the underlying markets are themselves highly fragmented (significantly driving up your acquisition costs), highly competitive (meaning that there isn't much revenue to share with your startup), and already using multiple capture channels for their customers (meaning that you are unlikely to provide killer value to them). But for some reason -- I have my own theories there -- there's always some concept in those spaces getting funded, so they seem more greenfield than they are.
I'm picturing ronilan sitting there, despaired, wondering what to do with their startup that delivers food and also cleans your place... having just realized that cleaning and food startups are a dime a dozen.
