Executive Summary

Many businesses—particularly among the 2M SMBs that could buy niche outreach tools—miss high-intent purchase conversations on Reddit because streams are noisy and traditional social monitoring lacks the precision to flag in-community buyer signals. Marketing and SDR teams end up spending hours sifting posts or engaging too late or inauthentically, losing higher-quality, lower-cost leads. Build a real-time SaaS that ingests public Reddit data and uses short-form intent models to classify and score threads for purchase or tool-comparison intent, surfacing ranked outreach opportunities with CRM/Slack workflows. Include vertical filters, subreddit-context signals (upvote velocity, commenter history), and a human-in-the-loop validation layer to keep precision high and prevent spammy outreach. The addressable market is roughly $6.0B (2M potential businesses × $3K ACV) and is attractive now because AI intent detection has materially improved, brands are shifting budget toward community channels as CPMs rise, and niche verticalized SaaS pipelines convert buyers faster. These trends and an 88/100 revenue potential score suggest a clear path to sustained customer value. Competition is medium, so differentiation must come from demonstrably higher precision and faster time-to-engage than general social tools—achievable by fine-tuning models on Reddit language and combining model signals with workflow integrations. Be upfront that challenges include Reddit API limits, moderation and privacy concerns, and the reputational risk of outreach, but if you can show measurable pipeline velocity improvements and maintain compliance, a $3K ACV model is realistic and this is worth pursuing.
