IPO Tracker & Alert Bot

An automated tracker that monitors upcoming IPOs, SPAC listings, and major exchange transfers (like NYSE/Nasdaq moves). Users get notifications about key dates, filing updates, and trading availability. Target: retail traders and investors who want early exposure.

Retail investor interest in IPOs surged during 2020-2021 and, while it cooled, the underlying demand for structured IPO discovery hasn't gone away — platforms like Robinhood and Webull surface IPO access but do a poor job of proactive alerting and SPAC or transfer tracking. Stockanalysis.com and IPOMonitor.com are the closest substitutes, both free and reasonably comprehensive, which is the core problem: monetizing a notification layer on top of publicly available SEC and exchange data is genuinely hard when good free alternatives exist. The $1k-3k/mo revenue band is plausible only through a niche premium tier — think serious retail traders paying $10-15/month — but the addressable segment willing to pay for this specifically is small and already somewhat served. The most likely failure mode is churn driven by novelty: users sign up around a hot IPO cycle, then go dormant when deal flow slows, making retention economics ugly.
