Lead Radar for Niche Communities
A monitoring tool that scans public communities for repeated buying signals, urgent questions, and “looking for a tool” posts, then alerts founders in real time.
The problem
Founders repeatedly say lead generation and distribution are the hardest parts of SaaS, and they want a way to find high-intent conversations without manually monitoring communities.
Proposed solution
Track Reddit, public forums, and other communities for intent-rich posts, classify them by pain/topic, and deliver alerts with context and outreach suggestions.
Target audience
Indie founders, growth teams, and solo operators seeking qualified demand signals
