Azam is the founder of AlphaSaaS, a no-integration SaaS App Discovery and Usage Analytics platform for mid-sized to large organizations. The tool maps every app in use, flags unused or redundant ones, and helps IT and finance teams make data-driven renewal and consolidation decisions.
What problem does your product solve, and who is it for?
AlphaSaaS tackles SaaS bloat and shadow IT.
Most companies have no single view of all the apps their employees use. This leads to:
- Unused or duplicate tools
- Wasted budgets
- Security risks from unapproved apps
- Poor renewal and cancellation decisions
AlphaSaaS automatically discovers every app in use, assigns each a Health-Card with engagement metrics, and highlights where to cut or consolidate.
Why AlphaSaaS matters right now
- The average company wastes over 30% of its SaaS spend on unused licenses and duplicate apps (Gartner).
- A mid-sized organization uses 250+ SaaS apps on average, with 56% of them considered shadow IT (BetterCloud).
What inspired you to start this? What’s your personal backstory?
After helping multiple SaaS companies scale, I noticed the same pattern: no one knew their true app count.
At Apty, Lucidity, and Hotelogix, I saw finance and IT teams scramble at renewal time, deal with rampant shadow IT, and guess ROI.
That’s when I realized SaaS waste isn’t just a tool problem, it’s a visibility problem.
I teamed up with my cousin, a seasoned tech builder, to solve it — starting with zero-integration App Discovery. Install, scan, and get your full SaaS map instantly.
What’s your current traction?
- 6 active pilots with mid-sized organizations (300–1000 employees)
- 3 more onboarding this quarter
- One customer found $110K in potential savings in their first 30 days
Currently pre-full-scale pricing, focused on securing 10 annual retainers to validate and refine the product before scaling revenue.
