Been in PE / IB for 5+ years. Should I take a leap of faith?

I have spent the better part of a decade in investment banking and private equity (last three focused in MM PE investing).

One part of the job that I have enjoyed more than I expected was "sourcing". For those unfamiliar with it, this involves speaking with investment bankers on a regular basis to gauge their pipeline and reaching out directly to founders to see if they are interested in discussions to sell their business. I have had some luck there early on (sourced an add-on for one of our portfolio companies that we closed on and a platform investment that our fund went pretty far with).

I was wondering what folks would think if I went solo as a searcher offering the following two services to PE, VC and strategic / corporate buyers:

1. SaaS Platform (Lite): I would continue to call on bankers, research companies and contact founders and log notes, revenue figures, etc. and sell access to a database (I know there are services out there that - try to - do this)

2. SaaS Platform + Pipeline Management (Pro): Access to the SaaS platform plus I would create tailored email templates for clients and reach out on their behalf to prospective targets, track progress, liaise with the sellers.

#1 monetized through a monthly SaaS fee. #2 charge retainer to conduct outreach to desired universe of targets and a success fee (say 1% of transaction value if it closes).

I see a lot of value here being the "tip of the spear" and having good sourcing experience already under my belt. The upside in my mind is requesting co-invest alongside these buyers for deals that I find for them. The other opportunity I see is automating #1 and #2 and spending a good bit of time interviewing founders, bankers, etc. as a way to create content and drive traffic to the site.

Should I take the leap?
