Real pain, but investors will ask who pays twice.
Founders absolutely hate building TAM slides, and the wedge is clear. The ceiling is lower than it looks because the best customers already pay for pitch decks, data rooms, and analyst hours — you are fighting bundled workflows, not ignorance. You can likely bootstrap to meaningful ARR on PLG, but VC scale needs a path beyond one-off reports into ongoing portfolio monitoring or VC-platform distribution.
!! Assumes founders buy standalone sizing instead of asking their accelerator.
>Methodology
