Mile deliberately picked church management software, an offline, slow-moving, decidedly unglamorous niche, because that is precisely what keeps casual competitors away. Nobody is racing to pitch a church admin tool at a demo day, which leaves the field open to whoever is patient enough to learn the domain. A transaction-heavy organization with no software built for it is a genuine opportunity hiding behind a boring label. The unglamorous niche is not the consolation prize, it is the one a committed builder can own while everyone else chases something shinier.
