Vendor Due Diligence SaaS for Founders
Build a founder-facing web app that guides software vendor evaluation before contract signature. It would turn vague procurement questions into structured checks around scope, communication, documentation, ownership, and handover risk, then generate a risk report and recommended contract addenda.
이것이 중요한 이유
You are about to spend a meaningful part of your startup budget on a development partner, but you cannot inspect the code or judge whether the team is giving strong answers or polished sales talk. The real damage shows up months later: missing scope assumptions, vague reporting, no rollback plan, and key accounts controlled by someone outside your company. Generic procurement tools do not help because they are not built for software delivery risk. You need a product that translates technical diligence into plain language, flags likely lock-in before you sign, and helps you compare vendors without needing a CTO on day one.

차별화
실패 가능 요인
자가 반박 — 가장 중요한 신뢰 신호
- 1Founders may not look for a dedicated tool until after they have already chosen a vendor, making timing-sensitive acquisition difficult.
- 2A lightweight SaaS may be seen as insufficient compared with hiring a trusted technical advisor for one-off diligence.
- 3If the scoring framework produces false positives or misses a major issue, trust in the product can erode quickly.
근거 요약
AI가 이 인사이트를 합성한 방법 — 직접 인용 없음
The discussion repeatedly centers on founders being unable to judge what they are buying before outsourcing software work. Several participants highlight missing scope clarity, poor risk visibility, weak documentation, and lack of account ownership. The strongest pattern is that expensive failures happen not because software is impossible to build, but because buyers lack a structured way to evaluate delivery discipline before signing.
