CommunityInternet
Run your community without chasing dues.
How we got these numbers
Every figure is computed from the inputs below — the same top-down + stated-fraction methodology the product applies, with the arithmetic left visible.
| Step | Formula | Result | Basis |
|---|---|---|---|
| TAM (anchor) | Public analyst anchor (2025) | $6B | Statista / Community Industry Reports (rounded) — US online community and membership platform spend is estimated in the low tens of billions; the addressable slice for small-to-mid community operators is a distinct vertical — rounded to $6B. |
| SAM (serviceable) | $6B × 2.5% | $150M | Community operators (Discord, Slack, Facebook Groups, paid newsletters) who want structured dues collection and engagement tooling rather than manual chasing. |
| SOM (obtainable) | $150M × 0.8% | $1.2M | Vertical community-management product; organic search within creator/community-operator communities + portfolio cross-traffic, ~3-year horizon. |
| Customer framing | $1.2M ÷ ($29/mo × 12) | ≈ 3,400 customers | What the obtainable estimate means at the reference price of $29/month. |
Share-of-market framing
What small, plausible shares of the serviceable market translate to in annual revenue.
| Share of SAM | Annual revenue | Vs. obtainable estimate |
|---|---|---|
| 0.1% | $150K | below the $1.2M SOM estimate |
| 0.5% | $750K | below the $1.2M SOM estimate |
| 1% | $1.5M | above the $1.2M SOM estimate |

Opportunity signals
- Community operators spend hours chasing dues; automation of reminders, grace periods, and access gating is a clear time-saver.
- Founder-path QA shows strong live signals (health endpoint, credit economy, no demo CTA) — evidence of real product traction.
- 'Without chasing dues' positioning directly addresses the #1 operational pain for paid communities.
Risks & pain points
Members resist recurring payments; conversion depends on clear value delivery before first charge.
Communities live on Discord/Slack/etc.; if the host platform changes policy, the tool loses context.
