title: How To Find Million-Dollar Business Ideas In Internet Niches
description: >-
  Steph Smith of Andreessen Horowitz thinks a lot about what goes viral on the
  internet. Sometimes those things are super-niche, like a YouTube account of
  Japanese passenger trains or a Reddit community where people post pictures of
  TVs mounted too high on a wall. You may not know there’s a market for
  something until it finds an (unlikely) audience. Steph and host Dan Shipper
  discuss what the internet has enabled for passionate creators, and what that
  can tell all of us searching for business ideas online. If you enjoyed this
  clip, check out the full conversation with Steph here:
