eval competition idea: Help kill my SaaS

my team is proposing to pay >$40k/year for enterprise saas we have never used and will never be able to customize.

as a smol business owner, this feels shitty.

thinking of doing a small remote hackathon: • i cover $1000 in tokens for you • you do your best to clone this SaaS in a weekend • my team (your prospective customer) evals it • winner gets $10,000 cash & @latentspacepod writeup • all code is open sourced

everyone wins except high margin low moat saas. we keep doing this with increasingly ambitious saas things for SMBs until we find the boundary of what saas is still hard to kill in a weekend.

does that work?
