A specialized POS-inventory-CRM system for an offline store. Pick something - coffee, babysitting, barbers, massage parlors, sushi restaurants.

POS first because everyone has to record money. The value proposition is theft prevention, bookkeeping & taxes, etc. Inventory next because supply chains are too complex for most generic systems. Then some kind of customer retention/acquisition thing so they don't feel like it's a cost center.

The market is too red ocean for VCs to enter. Sales doesn't scale exponentially. That's your moat. I would say just tackle one American sized state, not even the big ones.

Users won't come to you. They'd go to whatever well known system is in your area. You have to go to them. Skip the online ads, TikTok, etc.
