Executive Summary
Strong viability with clear path to $50K MRR in 14 months. Market urgency meets technical feasibility.
One-Line Summary
MeetingMeter calculates the real cost of every meeting in your organization, surfacing expensive meetings and nudging teams toward efficiency. For ops leaders at 100-1,000 employee companies, it turns hidden meeting spend into actionable productivity gains.
Core Problem Solved
Meetings are the largest hidden expense in companies: employees attend 62 meetings monthly with 50% unproductive time. A 1-hour meeting with 8 people earning $100K+ costs $400+ in fully-loaded labor. Companies track every software subscription but ignore $37B annually spent on unnecessary meetings. Without visibility into aggregate meeting spend, there's no accountability for efficiency.
The pandemic increased meeting frequency by 13%, making ROI harder to assess while creating urgent demand for cost visibility. Current solutions like Clockwise or Reclaim focus on scheduling, not cost analytics.
Primary Audience & Market Size
Primary Audience: Ops/HR leaders at 100-1,000 employee companies (50% of target market has 200-500 employees). They're data-driven, frustrated by meeting waste, and accountable for productivity KPIs.
Market Size: TAM $37B (US companies' annual unnecessary meeting spend), SAM $3.7B (10% targeting 100-1,000 employee companies), SOM $37M (1% capture in 3 years at $37K avg. annual contract value).
