Not just domain expertise. The hard part has always been marketing, distribution, risk appetite, motivation, grit, and patience.

There are plenty of things which are "trivial" to produce with no moat and yet are still million dollar businesses. Kebab stands. Water bottles. Barber shops. Movers.

Markets, not individual businesses. Many Kebab stands are tiny businesses. The fan-out for retail is necessary.

The market is big.

This is the moat. It was before AI and still is.
