Executive Summary

Sales and investor outreach teams struggle with low response rates because founder contact data is stale or wrong and intent signals are buried across hiring pages, launch posts and fundraising tweets; this costs time and inflates outreach CAC for VCs, accelerators, and growth teams that target early-stage founders. The pain is most acute for smaller funds and in-house sourcing teams that lack the budget for expensive enterprise data providers. Build a SaaS that discovers founders, aggregates and verifies multi-channel contact points in real time, and layers automated intent detection (hiring, product launch, fundraising tweets) with CRM integrations and exportable, self-serve lists. Offer tiered access: a low-ACV self-serve product for ~80,000 smaller buyers and a higher-touch enterprise tier with SLA-backed data freshness and verification. The market is attractive now: a $2.4B opportunity (80,000 potential buyers × $30K ACV), a market score of 92/100 and revenue potential 84/100, driven by more public founder signals and rising demand for verified lists as response rates fall and spam filters tighten. Smaller funds and accelerators create a white space below incumbent enterprise vendors who often ignore low-price, high-volume segments. You can differentiate with demonstrably higher verification accuracy, real-time refresh SLAs, transparent provenance and integrations that reduce outreach friction, but be realistic—the space is highly competitive and you'll need proprietary verification tech, strong compliance practices, and cost-efficient data acquisition to build defensible margins.
