How about creating or re-segmenting multiple industries into a new market category that you alone have the deep knowledge on customer, data, business and market. And with a narrow wedge to own-the-market. The riches are in the niches. I got it!

New categories is a very interesting approach. Two great resources for that:

My new category is a new economy, a circular giving economy. Three industires totalling 1.8 trillion. But with a massive SOM. For mass adoption on mobile. A Web2 to Web3 transition with the focus on the consumer value proposition not what the current operators(crypto) are pushing. Easy peasy but only took 18 years to discove rit.
