Buyer Intelligence - Know Your Buying Committee

If an entrepreneur "adopted" this product today, here's the realistic math.

Fermi summary

If you close 45 teams at $300/mo that's $162k ARR, but this category's graveyard is full of well-funded startups that still lost to LinkedIn Sales Nav; honest odds you get there in year one are about 11%.

Go-to-market motion

Outbound LinkedIn + cold email to VP Sales and RevOps at 50-500 person B2B SaaS companies, targeting 18-25 demos/month, closing 3-4 at $250-450/mo team pricing.

Key risks

ZoomInfo, 6sense, Demandbase, and LinkedIn Sales Navigator all have buying committee features baked into platforms sales teams already pay for - a standalone tool must win on depth, not existence
Buying committee signal quality lives or dies on data sourcing: scraping LinkedIn violates TOS and risks account bans, so you need paid data partnerships that cost $800-2,000/mo before you've closed your first customer
Enterprise procurement demands SSO, SOC2, and a DPA before signing - each enterprise deal adds 6-12 weeks of compliance overhead that a solo operator will find brutal to absorb
