67% of businesses want to replace Google Analytics 4 - even though they're already paying Google. When people will pay to escape free tools, that's real opportunity.
This Monday we break down 3 validated business ideas that could each become six-figure businesses in 18 months.
IDEA 1: PRIVACY-FOCUSED ANALYTICS
The opportunity: GA4 is a nightmare. Build privacy-first analytics with one-click GA4 data import.
Why it works: Plausible hit $1M ARR proving the model. Mainstream businesses just now forced to care about privacy due to GDPR fines and cookie consent fatigue.
The differentiation: Import 3 years of historical GA4 data. Most privacy tools make you start from scratch - marketing teams need year-over-year comparisons.
Revenue: $9/mo (10K visitors), $49/mo (100K visitors), $199/mo (unlimited + team features)
Target: Marketing teams at $2M-$50M revenue companies drowning in GDPR compliance.
Why now: GA4 migration anger, new EU privacy regs, CMOs under pressure for clean reporting.
IDEA 2: AI SALES AGENT TRAINING
The opportunity: Every sales leader is being asked about AI by their CEO. None know what to say.
The gap: Most AI training is too technical or too generic. Sales teams need to write better emails with Claude, practice objections with ChatGPT, research prospects faster.
Proof: Consultant charged $8K for half-day workshop. Usage jumped 12% → 78%, qualified meetings up 23% in 60 days.
What you teach:
- 5-min prospect research (detailed buyer personas)
- Email personalization at scale
- Objection handling with AI role-play
- Pipeline forecasting from call transcripts
Revenue: $2,500 per workshop (15 people), $15,000 full-day intensive, $500/mo ongoing coaching
Target: Sales leaders at 50-500 employee companies with training budgets.
Why now: Board-level pressure to implement AI, sales is easiest place to show immediate ROI, tools finally reliable for daily use.
IDEA 3: AI GTM STACK INTEGRATION
The opportunity: Growth-stage startups have 8-12 sales tools that don't talk to each other. Sales reps spend more time on data entry than selling.
The problem: APIs exist but implementing requires technical knowledge. Real value is workflow logic that fits their specific process.
Example: Clay finds prospects → Apollo enriches → Instantly sequences → replies create HubSpot deals + Slack alerts → auto follow-ups
Revenue: $5K-$15K initial setup, $1,500-$5K/mo ongoing management
The math: 10 reps × 2 hours/day data entry × $40/hour = $17K/month wasted. Even high-end retainer pays for itself.
Real ROI: 15-25% conversion improvement from proper context + faster response times.
Target: $5M-$50M revenue companies with sales teams but no dedicated RevOps.
Why now: Everyone bought AI sales tools 2023-2024, now need to actually use them. Pressure to be efficient with smaller teams.
META-INSIGHT:
All three solve complexity from too many options. Market moved from "what should we buy" to "how do we use what we bought."
Common threads:
- Clear ROI stories
- Mid-market sweet spot (budget but not unlimited resources)
- Solutions to board-level pressure (privacy compliance, AI strategy, sales efficiency)
Sometimes the best opportunity isn't building something new - it's solving problems created by existing solutions.
