The pain point is real: small teams in local markets find Apollo too expensive and noisy. The job-posting signal is a clever, low-cost way to surface buying intent. The challenge is distribution—reaching these teams without a sales team. Also, data accuracy in niche verticals is hard to maintain. For this to work, you need a tight feedback loop with early users to refine the lead scoring and outreach templates.
