Validating an idea: Automated org charts / power mapping for B2B sales
Hey PH community đź‘‹
I’m validating an idea and would really appreciate thoughtful feedback.
The problem I’m exploring:
In B2B and enterprise sales, deals often stall or die because sellers misread the org structure.
You think you’re talking to the decision maker.
Turns out they’re two layers away from budget authority.
Or there’s a hidden blocker you never identified.
Mapping reporting lines manually via LinkedIn is time-consuming and mostly guesswork. Titles don’t always reflect real influence.
The idea I’m working on:
A tool that takes a LinkedIn company page and generates a visual org chart showing likely reporting lines — making “power mapping” more systematic instead of intuitive.
Right now, I’m trying to validate:
Is misreading org structure a frequent deal-killer?
Do teams systematically map org charts today?
Is this a real workflow tool or just a nice-to-have?
Who feels this pain most — SDRs, AEs, founders, RevOps?
I’m keeping the early group small so we can shape the product together based on real usage and feedback.
If you’re selling into mid-market or enterprise and want to be part of early validation, I’m collecting a waitlist here:
I’d genuinely value critical feedback. If you think this is unnecessary or already solved well by existing tools, I’d love to understand why.
Thanks in advance 🙏
