Opportunity assessment PRO
Development brief PRO
- Acknowledge that current demand manifests as human scout bounties ($250–$750 per campaign) rather than pure SaaS, and position the initial wedge as a curated pipeline manager linking Crunchbase and PitchBook investor criteria with DocSend deck engagement analytics.
- Design a relational schema (PostgreSQL) modeling founders, target investor profiles mapped from Crunchbase/PitchBook attributes, scout introduction logs, and referral payout status.
