2. with a *solid* business model (e.g. people pay for stuff)
3. that doesn't depend 100% on investor money (especially VC money).

Choose real, solid business where it's easy to understand where the money comes from and that either are profitable or have an *extremely clear path* to profitability that can be explained in one short sentence (e.g. "our customers pay for our services and it's enough fo us to pay our bills and your salary").
