Executive Summary

Many companies waste a meaningful share of their recurring software budgets because SaaS purchasing is fragmented, promotions live in vendor channels or partners, and internal teams lack a centralized way to discover verified deals; with roughly 120 million businesses spending on average $2,000 per year on SaaS (a $240B addressable market), procurement inefficiency scales quickly. The pain is most acute for SMBs and mid-market companies plus procurement and finance teams at larger firms who are under pressure to cut recurring costs without disrupting operations. You could build a centralized, AI‑curated deals marketplace that ingests vendor promos, partner offers, and usage/billing integrations to generate personalized, time‑sensitive recommendations and a one‑click procurement flow, paired with savings tracking and audit trails. Monetization would combine vendor referral/commission fees, buyer subscriptions for premium discovery and analytics, and optional anonymized market insights for vendors and resellers, with integrations for SSO and billing to prove value through realized savings. This is an attractive moment: buyers are actively scrutinizing subscription spend, vendors are diversifying promotion channels to acquire customers more cost‑effectively, and AI personalization can materially increase match and conversion—reflected in a Market Score of 88/100 and Revenue Potential 86/100 for this opportunity. The underlying $240B TAM and observable supplier willingness to run time‑limited promos create both demand and supply if you can lower friction on both sides. To stand out you will need to focus on quality over quantity—deep integrations to surface true usage‑based recommendations, strict verification of deals and vendor partnerships, and AI that personalizes recommendations across industry and company size—plus a clear vertical or buyer persona to reach critical mass quickly. Challenges are real: competition is medium, vendor and buyer acquisition costs can be high, deal freshness and compliance require operational effort, and initial margins may be thin; with disciplined unit economics (CAC payback, take rate, GMV growth) and an execution plan for supplier guarantees, this is a viable business to pursue rather than a speculative bet.
