I'm a first-time entrepreneur delving into the Tech HR/Recruiting industry with a B2B SaaS aimed at automating screening calls using AI. After developing my MVP, I've been reaching out to recruiters in my LinkedIn network to enroll them in a pilot program. However, the response has been lukewarm so far.
I'm aware that I need to expand my outreach and refine my approach, but I'm starting to wonder if I've chosen an overly competitive or saturated market. Conversations with fellow entrepreneurs and insights from IndieHackers and Reddit DMs suggest that many companies, both big and small, are exploring similar solutions, and gaining customers in this space is challenging.
Now, I'm at a crossroads: should I persist in this direction or consider pivoting? Is the recruiting industry too crowded for a new player like me? I'm also curious about other industries that might be more welcoming for first-time B2B entrepreneurs. Any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated!
Do you know what is the pain point with current solutions in the market? may be you can narrow down the solution make it more industry specific or offer lower rates. Point is crowded markets are also opportunities because it confirm the demand now the next step will be on what can you offer which the others dont..better UI, simpler operation, lower cost etc. and that should become your USP
