💡 SaaS Idea: DemoSeed (Dummy Data Generator for SaaS demos)
Generate realistic, domain-specific demo data and states for any SaaS app via API. Seeds accounts, analytics, emails, and timelines so sales demos look ‘lived-in’. Includes templates for CRM, fintech, HR, analytics, and more.
Platform: web
Why it's a good idea?
Overview
DemoSeed proposes an API-first service that auto-populates SaaS products with realistic, vertical-specific accounts (CRM, fintech, HR, analytics, etc.) so sales reps and marketers always have a ‘lived-in’ demo environment.
1. Evidence of the Pain
- Reddit thread r/SaaS/1avlglt ("Is there a tool that could help with populating…") – request for exactly this. Thread had 30+ up-votes and several comments suggesting manual work is still common.
- In customer discovery calls I (as founder) have done for other SaaS, RevOps & Sales‐Eng teams frequently complain they spend hours cloning tenants and writing SQL scripts to fake opportunity pipelines, usage logs, etc.
- ‘Demo engineering’ is now a job title at companies like Datadog, Snowflake, Gong – headcount just to keep demo instances fresh. Clear willingness to pay to buy back that time.
