Where is the whitespace in B2B SaaS?

The massive whitespace lies in 'deskless worker' software. Building mobile-first, offline-capable tools for factory floor workers or field technicians offers near-zero competition compared to marketing tools.

Why is B2B software better for solo founders?

B2B software has incredibly low churn and high willingness to pay. A business will gladly pay $200/month for a tool that saves an employee 5 hours a week.

The Gap Nobody Is Filling

Focus on the "deskless workforce." 80% of the global workforce does not sit at a desk, yet 90% of software is built for desk workers. Mobile-first tools for warehouse floors and construction sites are wide open.

The Pricing Gap

Traditional enterprise software (SAP, Oracle) costs millions. Bootstrapped founders can build $200/mo micro-utilities that integrate with these giants, solving single workflows.

What Changed Recently

The generational shift of business owners. Boomers are retiring and selling heavy-industry companies to Millennials/Gen-Z owners who refuse to use pen and paper.
