How did you find your starving crowd?

[evanwebb]

This question is directed to those who have actually grown a successful business from nothing.
Where exactly did you find your ideal customers that made you realize the opportunity to start your business?
What was the deciding factor that made you say, "This crowd is big enough and hungry enough to go into business."
Was there an epiphany or was it more of a process of discovery?
Thanks!
