Executive Summary

Early-stage founders, product marketers, and growth teams often waste weeks manually scanning forums or spend thousands on inefficient paid channels to find their first high-intent users; this is especially painful for the ~2M marketing teams that can’t justify broad CPC spend. The core pain is noisy signal and slow discovery when what teams need is a scalable way to surface community-native intent and contactable early adopters. Build a SaaS that ingests product copy, uses LLMs to translate it into hundreds of community-idiomatic landing-page queries, and continuously scans forums, subreddits, Discord threads and niche Q&A to surface scored leads, trending problem statements, and outreach-ready snippets. Make the product practical with adaptive query scheduling, caching, privacy-aware scraping, and built-in outreach templates to convert discoveries into conversations. The market looks attractive right now: rising CPCs are pushing more teams toward organic channels, AI-assisted marketing makes precise translation of product language viable, and the TAM is roughly $6.0B (2M teams × $3K ACV) with a Market Score of 88/100 and Revenue Potential of 86/100. You can stand out by fine-tuning LLMs on community vernacular to generate queries that competitors miss, coupling that with fast signal extraction and end-to-end workflows from discovery to outreach; however, expect operational challenges around platform rate limits, policy compliance, connector maintenance and data quality—achievable but resource-intensive.

Market Opportunity
