Find your next B2B SaaS opportunity
North reads every B2B software market on Capterra and ranks the niches where competitors are already paying to acquire customers - proven, still-active paid ads across Google, LinkedIn, and retargeting - and the incumbents look beatable. The thesis: enter where the paid channel is validated, copy the playbook, ship a better product.

What North reads
Proven paid competition
Google Ads Transparency Center (live creatives, tenure, still-active), SEMrush ad spend + bid keywords, LinkedIn Ad Library, and homepage retargeting pixels (incl. Meta) - who's spending, on what, for how long.
Beatable incumbents
Real Capterra ratings + review volume, plus recurring complaint themes mined from incumbents' own reviews - the wedge to build against.
Demand & moat
SEMrush search volume, CPC, and keyword difficulty per market; vendor authority/backlinks and funding to gauge how entrenched the leaders are.
The niche layer
Claude classifies all 70k products into functional niches that cut across Capterra's blended categories - the truer opportunity unit.
How they advertise
Vision-mined angles, offers, and value props from competitors' ad creatives - the validated messaging to copy on day one.
One thesis, scored
~65% of every score is multi-channel paid competition; the rest is beatability, demand, and market size - a percentile across all niches.
