I'm not building an AI, defence or climate startup, am I a terrible founder?

First of all, you don't deserve a hypothetical "good" founder badge just because of striving to direct your business into either of the mainstream venues, and not something less overhyped or explored.

Thus, secondly, nobody can outright disregard your whole enterprise based solely on the latter being too "original" or unapologetically centered around the issues you care about the most yourself, instead of those everyone else seems to be buzzing about.

Hence, thirdly, who they are to judge your success being likelier in an area you're clearly less interested in but apparently getting more attention from around the globe, despite your possible higher readiness to put more effort into a problem which visibly less folks dare to delve into?
