Idea

A SaaS platform that helps developers securely manage and distribute API keys for multiple LLM providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.), with support for BYOK (bring your own key) and per-user key management for B2B applications.

Why this is interesting

LLM API costs have become a genuine pain point as more teams ship multi-provider AI features, and the BYOK pattern is accelerating because enterprise buyers increasingly refuse to let vendors hold their keys. Portkey and similar API gateway tools already occupy adjacent space, and AWS Secrets Manager handles the raw storage problem — so the real question is whether there's a defensible layer between key vaulting and provider-level billing that developers will actually pay for separately. At $1k–5k/month the math only works if you land B2B customers who need per-seat key isolation and audit logs, not individual developers who'll wire something up in an afternoon. The most likely failure mode is that infrastructure consolidators — Vercel, Supabase, or the LLM providers themselves — absorb this feature into their platforms before the product reaches meaningful scale.
