Executive Summary

Many SMB sales and demand-gen teams waste hours manually hunting social prospects and suffer high false-positive rates from short-form posts; this makes organic social lead-generation noisy, slow, and unreliable for teams that can’t afford expensive paid channels. The pain is greatest for small businesses and niche verticals that need predictable, affordable lead streams without large ad budgets. You could build a SaaS pipeline that scrapes public social signals, applies NLP and embeddings to detect short-form intent, enriches profiles with firmographics and contact data, and pushes qualified leads into CRMs with verticalized outreach templates. Offer it as an annual lead-gen and enrichment subscription (the market assumes roughly $1.2K ACV) with tiered templates for high-value niches. The market looks attractive: a $4.8B theoretical market (4M businesses × $1.2K ACV), with a market score of 88/100 and revenue potential rated 84/100, driven by rising paid channel costs and a shift toward organic/owned-source strategies. Demand is growing for tools that improve lead quality rather than volume. You can stand out by combining best-in-class short-form intent models (embeddings reduce false positives) with deep vertical templates and a strong data-quality focus, but be realistic about heavy competition, platform scraping/ToS and privacy risks, and the engineering cost of maintaining robust enrichment pipelines. If you can navigate compliance and maintain superior precision, this idea has commercial legs; if not, it risks being a marginal data product in a crowded field.
