I've spent my career at major banks doing things like pricing and low-latency trading. I'd like to now start a software business but I'm having a hard time with ideas. The ideas I tend to come up with...I have no domain knowledge in.

So now I'm wondering how to leverage my fintech experience to build something that can give me independence from a job. Payments? Financial analysis tools?

I want to make money from a product but I don't have a good idea for SaaS or anything physical for that matter.

But I have niche technical knowledge such as blockchain, cryptography, functional programming etc and a knack for explaining it well.

I figure publishing and selling a technical course is a good intermediate step towards making money outside of a job.

Is there still demand for technical video courses out there or is the market flooded?
