The excerpt is a short clip in which the speaker summarizes advice attributed to Feras (Feras Alhlou) about sticking to a niche in business — "eat your own dog food" — and focusing on a target audience (early-stage, non‑tech entrepreneurs) rather than trying to sell to everyone. The clip contrasts the relative support available to tech startups (VCs, resources) with opportunities in services and consulting.

In this clip, Feras talks about sticking to your niche in business. So we try to eat our own dog food, as they say in Silicon Valley, and focus on a target audience because if your customers, if you're trying to sell to everyone, you're selling to no one. So focusing on the early-stage entrepreneurs, not in tech, tech gets a lot of support. There are a lot of VCs provide a lot of resources, but mostly in services and consulting.
