Roast my idea - A product demo "showroom" or TikTok for SaaS/Online biz

Hi Indie Hackers,

Please roast my idea!

I'm thinking about building a TiK Tok for SaaS/Online businesses, where a biz can post a 15 - 30 second product demo in a "showroom" to attract new customers or investors. The "showroom" itself will be marketed and promoted.

Posting of product demos will be free, monetization will be from ads, at least at the initial stage.

What do you think of the idea? Would you use it? If not why, any specific concerns?

Thanks for any feedback!

    I'm really interested in this idea and working on something in the same area! Lets chat. Whats the best email to reach you at?

    Hey Sheen! It's an interesting idea for sure. One thing i'm wondering is - on tiktok or instagram you see product ads between other videos. What you're proposing seems like a stream of only ads. How do you make this interesting / engaging enough for people to want to keep scrolling and coming back to the app ? What's the addictive component?

      Thanks for responding Neil! Well, the target segment for this service would actually be B2B, enterprise, so the idea is that these should be ads that they are already looking for. But you are definitely right about the absence of an addictive component. I need to consider if that is important for enterprise, hmmm..
