ProxyBox Reseller Lead Scorer ·

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

Fermi summary

Land 40 proxy resellers at $150/mo and you've got $72k ARR - but the buyer pool is maybe 400 people deep and you're solving a problem most of them handle with a spreadsheet, so bet on a 15% shot and expect year-1 to cost you money.

Go-to-market motion

Manual outbound to resellers listed on Bright Data, Smartproxy, and IPRoyal partner pages → async demo via Loom or 20-min call → $99-$199/mo close targeting ops-heavy resellers with 50+ leads/month.

Key risks

The real proxy reseller market is shallower than it looks - most 'resellers' are solo affiliates running thin margins who won't pay $100+/mo for a scoring tool; the addressable pool of ops-heavy buyers may be only 200-400 globally
Scoring proxy prospects is a fundamentally hard AI problem: buyers are often gray-area actors (scrapers, ad fraud verifiers, sneaker bots) who deliberately obscure intent, making feature signals weak and false-positive rates high enough to erode trust in the product
Bright Data, Smartproxy, or Oxylabs could ship native lead scoring inside their reseller portals as a retention feature, instantly commoditizing a standalone tool with no switching cost to beat
