The scorecard
Revenue Potential
8/10
High
$400K-$1.5M ARR achievable; at $5-$8/employee/month with companies of 100-1,000 employees, each customer is worth $6K-$96K/year; 50 million job changes annually in the US drives continuous demand; high retention because offboarding is recurring and compliance requirements only increase
Virality
6/10
Medium
HR and IT leaders share tools at SHRM and InfoSec conferences; SOC 2 auditors recommend to multiple clients; security incident stories drive urgency; less naturally viral than consumer products but strong professional recommendation networks
Execution
8/10
High
Integrating with 300+ SaaS tools via API is an enormous engineering effort; each tool has different deprovisioning methods and API maturity; state-specific compliance (50 different final paycheck rules) requires legal expertise; competing with well-funded platforms like Rippling and BetterCloud requires focused positioning
The idea
OffboardIQ automates the entire employee departure workflow the moment an employee's exit is triggered in your HR system. Within minutes, it revokes access across all SaaS tools (scanning 300+ common applications), initiates equipment recovery with automated shipping label generation and tracking, calculates final payroll including PTO payout and pro-rated benefits, generates state-specific separation agreements and COBRA notices, conducts AI-guided knowledge transfer capture (recording what the departing employee knows that isn't documented), and produces a compliance-ready audit trail proving every step…
