Stitcher CRM: The CRM for Bespoke Creators
A niche CRM designed for independent artisans and custom builders to manage clients and visually assemble quotes for bespoke creations from a library of components.
Project Chimera: The Sentient CRM
A niche CRM that automatically builds living, enriched customer profiles by scraping and stitching together public data from across the web. It uses autonomous 'agents' to identify buying signals and trigger actions, turning your contact list into a proactive lead-generation engine.
Inspired by the creation of life from disparate parts in 'Frankenstein', the hidden data reality of 'The Matrix', and the proactive data hunting of a 'Flight Tickets' scraper, Project Chimera is a new breed of CRM for solopreneurs and small sales teams.
The Story & Concept
Traditional CRMs are like static notebooks; you only know what you manually write down. Project Chimera operates on a different philosophy. It believes that a customer profile isn't a dead record but a living, breathing entity. It's a 'Frankenstein's monster' of data, assembled from various sources to create something more powerful and insightful than the sum of its parts. It allows you to take the 'red pill' (like in 'The Matrix') and see the underlying code of your market—the hidden signals, connections, and opportunities that others miss. Instead of just managing contacts, you command a system that actively hunts for opportunities, much like a flight scraper constantly searching for the perfect deal.
How It Works
1. The Creation (The 'Frankenstein' Element):
A user starts by adding a basic contact (e.g., name, company, or email). Project Chimera then acts as a digital Victor Frankenstein, scouring the web to find the 'body parts' of this contact's digital identity. It scrapes data from sources like LinkedIn (job changes, posts), company news sites (funding announcements, product launches), and public forums or social media. It then 'stitches' this information together into a single, unified, and continuously updated 'Chimera Profile'.
2. The Oracle & The Agents (The 'Matrix' Element):
Once a profile is created, the system reveals the 'Matrix' behind the data.
- The Oracle: It analyzes the aggregated data for buying signals and predicts opportunities. For example: "Signal Detected: Contact's company just posted 5 new engineering jobs. High probability they are expanding and need new software tools." or "Prophecy: Contact has been in their role for 8 months, a common time for budget re-evaluation."
- The Agents: Users can deploy autonomous 'Agents'—simple, trigger-based automations. For example: "If a contact's company receives new funding, an agent will draft a personalized congratulatory email and queue it for my approval." or "If a contact mentions a competitor's name with negative sentiment online, an agent creates a high-priority task for me to engage."
3. The Hunt (The 'Flight Scraper' Element):
The CRM is not just reactive; it's proactive. Users can set up 'Hunters' which are persistent scrapers that search for new leads that fit an ideal customer profile. For instance, a user could set up a Hunter to: "Continuously search for newly promoted VPs of Marketing at SaaS companies with 50-200 employees in North America." When a match is found, Chimera automatically creates a new lead, begins the 'creation' process of building its profile, and alerts the user of the new, pre-qualified opportunity.
Niche & Business Model
- Target Audience: Freelancers, solopreneurs, and small B2B sales teams who lack the resources for expensive enterprise solutions like ZoomInfo or dedicated research staff.
- Cost & Implementation: Built with a lean stack (e.g., Python/Scrapy, Django/Flask, React, PostgreSQL), it's low-cost to develop and maintain. This allows for a competitive price point.
- Earning Potential: A SaaS model with a freemium tier. The free version could allow tracking a limited number of profiles and one 'Hunter'. Paid tiers (e.g., starting at $39/month) unlock more profiles, more 'Hunters', and more advanced 'Agents'. The high value of a single qualified lead makes this a highly attractive and justifiable expense for the target audience.
