I really admire your efforts and optimism around the product. I started something similar 2y ago - not general like yours but a vertical CRM for a specific segment. My value proposition was to create something really simple, clean and start adding relevant features by compiling from my user’s feedback. I end up building a lot of more features than I expected (pipelines, tasks, workflow, email integrations, custom fields, filters, permissions, api, webhooks, reports etc). No matter how your product is, once you position your company as a CRM, the users will always compare you with others 9000 existing similar softwares.
If you are planning to integrate google mail and/or calendar, be prepared to spend 15k to 90k for the third party company security assessment.
I wish you very luck and I hope you can create something meaningful in this space.
- charly1811 7y agoThank you you for your advice. I will keep that in mind.
- jakemal 7y agoI was getting started on a calendar integration product targeted towards businesses and I just looked up the security assessment rules after reading your comment. Having to fork up tens of thousands just to allow the product to be usable completely kills the possibility. That's really disappointing. I suppose it's better to find out now rather than later.
