Real-World Example
Marcus, Fintech Founder
Building a payment processing app for freelancers
The Challenge
Marcus had built a prototype but couldn't get investor meetings. VCs kept asking about his TAM/SAM/SOM and he'd been guessing at numbers. He knew his market felt big but couldn't prove it with data that would satisfy due diligence.
How Market Analysis Helped
Marcus ran a Market Opportunity Analysis on his idea. The AI identified the global freelancer payment market at $4.8B (TAM), narrowed to US-based creative freelancers at $680M (SAM), and calculated his realistic year-one capture at $8.5M (SOM). The analysis also revealed an underserved segment: freelancers earning $50K-150K who needed better invoicing tools than current solutions offered.
The Outcome
Armed with defensible market data and a clearly identified niche, Marcus updated his pitch deck and landed three investor meetings in the following month. The specific methodology and data sources gave VCs confidence in his numbers, and the underserved segment insight became a key part of his go-to-market strategy.

Advanced Tips
Get more value from your market analysis
Be Specific About Your Niche
Instead of "project management software," try "project management for construction companies with 10-50 employees." The more specific your input, the more actionable your TAM/SAM/SOM breakdown will be.
Run Multiple Variations
Test different market definitions to find the sweet spot. A market that's too big looks unrealistic to investors; too small and it's not worth pursuing. Run 3-4 variations to find your optimal positioning.
Export and Customize
Export your analysis to PDF, then customize the presentation for your specific audience. Add your own insights, adjust the framing for your investor's thesis, or combine with your primary research data.
Track Market Changes
Re-run your analysis quarterly to track how your market is evolving. This helps you spot emerging opportunities, new competitors, or shifting demand patterns before they become obvious to everyone else.
