Business Idea: A customizable, self-hosted Identity and Access Management (IAM) platform that gives SaaS startups control over authentication, branding, and enterprise integrations without vendor lock-in.
Problem: SaaS companies relying on third-party auth providers face high costs, limited control over login UI, and challenging enterprise SSO integrations as they scale, leading to increased complexity and expense.
Solution: Develop and offer a secure, flexible, and branded IAM system based on Keycloak, enabling teams to quickly deploy, customize, and manage authentication flows, role configurations, multi-tenancy, and SSO on their infrastructure.
Target Audience: SaaS startups and scaling tech companies seeking cost-effective, scalable authentication solutions with full control over login experience and enterprise integrations.
Monetization: Generate revenue through offering the service as a SaaS product, subscription plans, or consulting and deployment support for teams looking to implement or customize their own IAM.
Unique Selling Proposition (USP): Fully customizable, branded login flows, role and token configuration, multi-tenancy, and enterprise-ready SSO — all deployable on your own infrastructure, avoiding vendor lock-in and high costs.
Launch Strategy: Start by creating a simple, ready-to-deploy version of the platform for early adopters; gather feedback on features; then market via developer communities and SaaS forums to validate demand and refine the product for broader release.
