There are a few rules:

- Don't be a solo founder, no body is going to fund you. Your idea may be crappy, you can pivot. But solo founder is a big no no, unless you are successful founder with a new venture.

- Either you or your co-founder is "the" person in your product area or you are able to hire someone who is. Developer tools companies always try to do this to become #1 (at least in twitter).

- You probably should make a new database or a security tool if you are in the B2B space. Otherwise you will have a very hard time making money.

Could you explain why do you think db or security tools are profitable only?

The security market is predicted to grow substantially.

This gives space to new entrants.
