I've developed a SaaS Boilerplate/Application Bootstrap/Product Framework.

Description Of Product

It allows for the quick development of an application by providing the foundation that is needed to build a product application, whether it be a SaaS application or an in-house admin system. The basic foundations are provided by Parthenon. This will allow them to develop their application faster and cheaper because they are getting the foundations out of the box.

It's not just at the initial development phase where they get value. Over the 12 years I've worked in tech I've worked at many companies, and they've basically all had the same basic functional requirements, and they all spend a large amount of time dealing with this generic functionality. They need to send emails, they need to send SMS, they need a user system, they want a user referral system, they need an admin system to manage their data, they want A/B testing, they need to generate PDFs, etc. All this functionality is generic. However, they to maintain this code they have. This costs money, they have to fix bugs within these systems, they have to change them, for example, switch from Mailgun to SendGrid, fix database performance issues etc. When they use Parthenon, then this would be supported by Parthenon on an upgrade subscription model. This means they'll be able to have their developers focus on their core business logic instead of handling generic functionality and migrations and fixing boring annoying tasks that have built up over the years. This means that even after the initial development phase the customer still gets value from outsourcing this basic functionality to Parthenon.

Businesses are already seeing the value of outsourcing functionality to others there are countless SaaS applications out there that provide generic core functionality business to save them on developing those. A good example is Auth0 which got bought for $6.5 billion. Optimizely for A/B testing which was bought for an undisclosed sum. However, in the future with data privacy laws being as strict as they are an as annoying as they are it is very likely that companies will have to start moving this core logic back onto their own servers. These services are also expensive and when you start adding them up it can become very expensive to buy.

Target Market

The target markets are companies who are just starting out or larger companies that are rebuilding an internal application.

I believe by targeting non-technical founders who are looking to outsource the development of their application that the value of Parthenon is very clear to them. It saves them money very quickly, and the price point is low when they're already planning on spending thousands anyways.

I also believe that companies that are spending hundreds of thousands to millions on developer salaries every year will also see that there is value in having their developers focus on their business and the price again is very low to the value that it would bring to them.

Where I am just now

I have the product, it's been developed. I need someone to help me get it to customers. I believe that it's basically business development or sales that is required and these are skills that are not my area of expertise.
