What I wonder is if there will be the pay for enticing developers to build it.

I think many of use will love to do this kind of stuff, but is mostly US companies that pay for it.

For example, I like to make RDBMs and ERPs kind of software, but here in LATAM is near impossible to get funding for it, how is in Europe?

If they want to build viable competitive products then they'll need to pay for a lot more roles than just developers.

Certainly, there is a whole industry if you count support, sales, infra, testing, etc.

But I suspect that is developers the main problem for the bootstrap phase (ie: that is already the case here in LATAM)
