Aggregate lifetime political donations per donor into candidate-level rollups

Many organizations—national newsrooms, major NGOs, campaign compliance teams and data vendors—struggle to assemble lifetime donation profiles for individual donors because filings are fragmented across jurisdictions, noisy and inconsistently formatted, and buried in millions of transaction records; there are roughly 6,000 potential customers that would pay for reliable rollups. This gap forces manual research, slows investigations and compliance checks, and limits the ability to spot patterns that matter for accountability and risk management. You could build a SaaS data platform that continuously ingests machine-readable state and federal filings, applies ML- and LLM-assisted entity resolution to disambiguate donors, and exposes candidate-level lifetime rollups via a searchable UI, APIs and export workflows, with provenance and audit trails for legal and journalistic use. Pricing and GTM could target the estimated $1.5B market with a $250K ACV motion toward 6,000 organizations, while providing tiered data-licensing and bespoke support for high-value investigative customers. This market is favorable now because open-data publication is improving, lowering ingestion costs, and AI-assisted resolution materially raises matching accuracy; the market and revenue scores (Market 88/100, Revenue Potential 84/100) reflect that dynamic. To stand out you would need a demonstrable accuracy edge and transparent provenance, plus partnerships with 10–20 anchor customers to validate workflows; be candid that medium competition, ongoing maintenance of jurisdictional pipelines, and legal/quality thresholds are the primary operational challenges.
