B2B SaaS
B2B SaaS highlights the tools running the modern economy — from compliance automation to workflow optimization. These opportunities reveal where software quietly transforms business infrastructure behind the scenes.
Live Host Guild for Live Commerce
Whatnot hit $6B GMV, but live streams remain tiny. The bottleneck isn't tech—it's talent. Build the guild that plugs hosts into inventory-rich merchants.
Vertical AI Content Desk for Niche Industries
TokTak validated URL-to-content for everyone. Now build the vertical agent that owns one industry's entire marketing workflow.
Micro-App Studio Opportunity
Wabi and Lovable validated AI app creation infrastructure. The real opportunity isn't building apps—it's becoming the monetization layer that captures portfolio value.

DAWN proved telepresence robots work in hospitality. Someone needs to build the staffing infrastructure layer beneath it at scale.
Commerce Platform for Psychic Industry
Spiritual practitioners generate billions in services but lack commerce infrastructure connecting bookings, inventory, memberships, and ritual calendars into one platform.
Mood OS for Gen Z Emotional Commerce
Gen Z spends hundreds monthly on emotional regulation through "treat culture." The infrastructure connecting physical rituals, creator distribution, and behavioral data remains wide open.
Focus & Accountability Infrastructure for ADHD
Remote work broke 15.5M ADHD brains. Focusmate validated demand. The infrastructure play—guided sessions and institutional licenses—remains wide open.
Leadership Practice Simulator
Leadership development hits $82B annually while 60% of new managers fail. PwC validated VR training works—nobody owns the simulation layer yet.
Vertical AI GM for Nail Salons
Jimdo's AI assistant increased customer outcomes 40% by recommending actions, not reporting data. Nail salons need vertical AI GMs they can afford.
Live Commerce Production Infrastructure

Solo Dining Discovery & Certification Platform
Solo dining searches up 271% on Yelp, reservations spiking 22% on Toast—but no platform owns the discovery layer or certification standard.
Vertical AI Tools for Creative Micro-Cultures
Vertical AI hit $5B in legal. The $115B market is expanding at 24.5% CAGR—but creative micro-cultures remain underserved by generic tools.
24/7 AI Ambient Content Infra
Live streaming hits $345B by 2030, but no turnkey platform exists for 24/7 AI-generated worlds—leaving a B2B infrastructure gap wide open.
Trust Infra for Consumer Supplements

Pinterest trained 522M users to shop by aesthetic, but creators can't monetize this behavior outside walled gardens. The embed economy awaits.
Human-Only ID Layer
Jack Dorsey's funding anti-AI platforms while identity verification hits $20B. The infrastructure for human-only spaces is missing its consumer layer.

Livestock Disease Detection Intelligence Platform
Acoustic sensors detect livestock respiratory disease 72 hours before symptoms, at 40x lower cost than smart collars—riding precision farming's shift from hardware to intelligence.
