The problem, as people describe it

Early-stage SaaS startups in regulated industries face prohibitive upfront compliance costs (e.g., SOC 2, eCBSV, cyber insurance) that exceed bootstrap budgets, preventing them from acquiring their first customer or raising capital. This creates a chicken-and-egg problem where validation requires compliance, but compliance requires significant funding.
