If you can point me to one of these niches, I'd give you 15% of revenue generated on it

People pay money for productivity software/tools. Look at how many tiny ISVs are making fairly large amounts of money selling Git clients. I think 1Password has like 60 employees now. There are companies much larger than 1 person doing screen capture software and large companies selling remote desktop solutions.

Nice.

Some people might be put off by how competitive those spaces are. Don't be!
