Prospect Research & Outreach Automation Platform

A tool that automates the tedious parts of sales prospecting: finding companies, researching them, and scheduling outreach campaigns. Inspired by someone who built a $20/month system using open-source tools — this could be packaged as an easy-to-use SaaS for small consulting and services businesses.

The AI-driven sales tools space is genuinely hot right now, with tools like Clay gaining traction by automating prospect enrichment and outreach sequencing — which is exactly what this addresses, and also exactly the problem. Clay already exists, Apollo already exists, and Instantly already exists. Competing in this space at $1k–5k/mo MRR means you'd need a small but loyal niche, and "small consulting businesses" is plausible since those tools can feel overwhelming or overpriced for a 3-person agency. The revenue band is believable if you can hold 50–250 customers at $20–50/month, but CAC will eat you alive unless you find a cheap distribution channel like a specific community or integration partnership. The most likely failure mode is building a thinner wrapper on top of the same APIs (Hunter, Apollo, OpenAI) that a slightly technical target customer will just replicate themselves — which is literally how the founder got inspired to build this in the first place.
