The problem for most SAAS is marketing. How are you going to market this product, and wouldn't the marketing fail the same way your other SAAS failed that nobody seemingly wanted?
So it seems that for this product you're targeting two markets - early-stage founders and a pool of early adopters (who trust this process) at the same time. One without the other = death spiral.
Are you just going to rely on email sign ups? It might show weak intent. Requiring credit cards even if you don't charge or social proof tied to identity like LinkedIn might be more effective
Why use this over just building a landing page and buying FB or Reddit or Twitter ads? People do this to measure interest before building.
What’s your clear wedge?
If an idea gets popular on your platform, it will attract attention which is good for validation, but bad for protecting first-mover advantage if everyone can see it. You can limit this by adding a paywall, but it adds friction for early users.
I'm also building something I don't know if anybody even wants. What was it you built that nobody wanted?
