No one wants to advertise their money making niche ideas, especially if they are easy to copy.
Ideas are not worth much. Only execution matters.
VCs can only control the team. That is why they push this idea really hard.

Pretty cool! How about turning this into a service where other people can lease their own GPU hardware? Either through your website or by offering it as a sort of turnkey solution.

I’m a full time developer but own a gym. By accident! I went to take over a building as office space that was a liquidated gym. Signed the lease and the day before we moved in the owner called and said we can’t remove the equipment as it was all put in before the stairs.

I love this terrible sentence. But no (unfortunately). The idea is everything. A great idea and terrible team usually succeeds. An amazing team and terrible idea almost always fails. VCs can only control the team. That is why they push this idea really hard.

A cynic might suggest that VCs spread the "ideas are worthless" meme for their own benefit. Or perhaps they o…

They idea is not worth much in the sense that if you thought of it, there is a 98% chance someone else has thought of it before you, and 95% chance a few others are already doing it. The remaining few percents on both cases determine that the idea is not worth much. Great ideas with done badly can succeed, but those successes are usually short term and fade away, in particular when someone else copies the idea and do…
Really? Pitch me one.
