A video-calling SaaS idea needs a sharper small-business problem
A third-year college student preparing for a backend engineering job wants to build a video-calling SaaS as a resume project. The planned product would include video calls, , call recordings, Slack and Jira connections, and an interactive whiteboard for drawing during meetings.
The is small business owners, but the paid use case is still unclear. The main questions are which features small businesses would pay for, what Zoom and do not already solve, and whether meeting minutes and voice are valuable enough for businesses to keep using.
The first MVP would include a basic whiteboard and allow up to 20 people in one meeting for free. Profit is not the main goal; showing strong backend for a resume matters more.
