Ask people what they use Excel for and convert those into SaaS apps (you won't believe the things people do with Excel - I've seen Financial models running in Excel!). Even if you know nothing about an industry, this can be a quick conversation starter "do you use Excel often? what do you use it for?"
Try old school, boring, slow moving industries for low hanging fruits - manufacturing, leasing heavy equipment and even agriculture/animal raising in some cases. These have actual time saving requirements than building yet another project management application
- Distant_horizon 9y agoThis is an excellent idea. I see retail/apparel execs struggle through Excel all day. Considering they're creative-minded and visual learners, I'm surprised no alternative has been adopted
- acdanger 9y agoCould you get a little more specific? Are they managing inventory through spreadsheets? Or looking at financials?
