Executive Summary

Sales teams today miss a lot of high-intent opportunities because monitoring public problem statements on Twitter is manual, noisy, and slow, and SMB and mid-market reps lack a scalable way to capture those early signals. This pain is acute for outreach-driven teams trying to build pipeline quickly and efficiently. You could build a SaaS platform that continuously ingests Twitter posts, uses domain-tuned semantic embeddings to map diverse problem phrasing to intent, scores leads by urgency and fit, and pushes prioritized alerts and outreach templates into CRMs. Core features would include real-time alerts, industry/tech filters, clustering of similar problems, and one-click outreach sequences. The addressable market is attractive now — roughly $6.0B (2M businesses × $3K ACV) with a market score of 88/100 and revenue potential 82/100 — because buyers increasingly voice product frustrations publicly and teams that act fast capture outsized share of early-stage deals. Advances in embeddings and real-time social signals make problem-first discovery practical at scale, increasing potential conversion lift. You can stand out by optimizing for precision (fewer false positives) with industry-specific models, fast latency to beat slower competitors, and tight CRM/automation integration; competition is medium so execution and data access matter. Be upfront that challenges include Twitter API costs/limits, signal noise, and privacy/compliance constraints, but a focused MVP that demonstrates a 2–5x pipeline acceleration for pilot customers would make this clearly worth scaling.
