• ▸Multi-tenant authentication using email and Google OAuth with account management

Why this could work.

SMBs allocate $1,200+ annually to software procurement and actively seek cost reduction. The inbound demo model has proven conversion at $199-399/mo subscriptions, with IT managers and CFOs directly searching for vendor alternatives. If organic acquisition breaks through the G2/Capterra headwinds and customer retention reaches 60%+ annually, unit economics turn positive by month 18. The GTM playbook relies on repeatable, capital-efficient SEO acquisition.

What you'd risk.

G2 and Capterra have 10+ years of domain authority over software alternatives searches, making organic acquisition slow and expensive. Customer churn is structural: buyers find a cheaper alternative, switch, and never return. The 90% less cost headline is hyperbolic and won't hold up under scrutiny from experienced procurement teams, eroding credibility. Enterprise software vendors actively suppress reseller partnerships, making affiliate and partnership revenue fragile.

Who this fits.

An operator with prior SaaS experience who can execute product development and GTM simultaneously. Ideally someone with procurement buyer relationships, enterprise software domain knowledge, or proven SEO/content acquisition skills. Should be comfortable with negative year-1 cash flow and have the runway to reach month-18 profitability. Founders or agency operators scaling a second business are a strong fit.
