Find buyers before they ask sales
The first social-intent engine for live buyers
Replace stale lists with people asking now
Stop guessing. Reply to active demand.
Category-defining: the first social-intent engine for finding buyers where they ask for help.
The product is not a traditional CRM, not a scraping tool, and not just an AI writer; its core promise is turning public social conversations into qualified leads across Reddit, LinkedIn, and X.
Alternative-to: replace cold email lists and stale LinkedIn prospecting with live demand signals.
The page repeatedly emphasizes 'urgent' buyers, 'high-intent' conversations, and scanning millions of posts daily, which makes the product a direct alternative to static databases and manual prospecting.
Pain-killer: stop guessing who might need your offer and respond to people already shopping.
The strongest value prop is immediacy: define your offer, let AI find people actively seeking solutions, and engage them from one dashboard instead of wasting cycles on low-intent outreach.
Primary user
Solo B2B SaaS founder doing their own sales and outbound
ICP #1
Solo founder of an early-stage B2B SaaS with under $20k MRR
Pain
They need pipeline now, but LinkedIn outbound is saturated and paid ads are too expensive for their stage.
Why this solves
LeadGrids looks for people already asking for the exact kind of solution they sell, which is much higher intent than cold lists or broad targeting.
ICP #2
Growth marketer at a lean SaaS startup responsible for lead gen and content
Pain
They are expected to generate leads and content from the same tiny team, with no time to manually monitor Reddit, X, and LinkedIn.
Why this solves
The platform combines lead discovery, outreach, competitor tracking, and content repurposing in one workflow, reducing manual prospecting and content ideation.
ICP #3
Founder-led agency selling B2B services like SEO, dev, or paid media
Pain
They need a repeatable way to find buyers talking about their service category without hiring SDRs or scraping forums manually.
Why this solves
LeadGrids surfaces active buying conversations and lets them reach out directly, which is a better fit for service sellers than generic list-building tools.
Strengths
- +The value prop is extremely clear: find people already asking for what you sell.
- +The product scope is visible fast: lead discovery, outreach, competitor monitoring, analytics, and content scheduling.
- +The page uses concrete channel names and volume claims like '100K+ Reddit posts' and '500M+ X posts,' which makes the promise feel tangible.
Weaknesses
- −The page is trying to sell two different products at once: lead generation and viral content repurposing, which muddies the core message.
- −The copy is broad and buzzwordy in places; 'AI discovers high-intent buyers' tells me what, but not how it filters or ranks leads.
- −There is no proof of output quality: no examples of actual leads found, reply rates, or customer outcomes.
- −The targeting is under-specified; it never says whether this is for SaaS, agencies, local services, recruiters, or all of the above.
- −The 'Get Started Free' CTA is good, but the page lacks trust signals like testimonials, logos, case studies, or compliance details for social account access.
Fix these
- Split the landing page into two distinct offers: lead generation and viral content engine, or pick one as the primary product.
- Replace generic AI claims with a specific workflow example showing how a post becomes a lead, then an outreach message, then a booked call.
- Add proof blocks with real lead examples, before/after metrics, and one or two customer stories from SaaS founders or agencies.
- Narrow the homepage copy to one primary ICP, such as founder-led B2B SaaS, instead of implying everyone on the internet is a target user.
- Show the ranking logic for lead discovery, such as keywords, intent signals, subreddit matching, or competitor mention tracking, to make the product feel credible.

Headline
Find buyers before they ask
Turn Reddit, LinkedIn, and X posts into leads fast
Live intent, not stale lists
LeadGrids scans public conversations where people are actively asking for help. You see buyers at the moment they reveal their problem, so your outreach starts warmer.
One workflow from lead to reply
Find a lead, generate a personalized message, and track performance without jumping between tools. It keeps founder-led sales moving while you're still building.
Competitor mentions become opportunities
Track when prospects mention competitors, alternatives, or frustrations. Those moments are usually the highest intent and the easiest to convert.
Turn winning posts into content
Use trending Reddit conversations to generate similar content and schedule it across your channels. That gives small teams a way to ship leads and distribution from the same system.
FAQ
Who is LeadGrids for?
It is best for solo B2B SaaS founders, growth marketers, and agencies that need to find buyers without hiring SDRs. If you sell into public conversations and care about timing, it fits.
How is this different from Apollo or Clay?
Apollo and Clay are great for data and workflows, but they are not built around live social intent. LeadGrids starts with people actively asking for help, then turns that into leads and outreach.
Do I need to connect social accounts?
For the best experience, yes, but the product is built around public posts and discovery. You control what you connect, and the goal is to reduce manual monitoring, not add admin work.
Is the content engine required?
No. The core product is lead discovery and outreach. The content engine is there if you want to turn the same trending signals into posts and scheduling as a second workflow.
What kind of results should I expect?
The best early users should expect fewer random leads and more conversations that already sound like buying intent. The real win is saving time and replying before competitors do.
LeadGrids finds people already asking for your product on Reddit, LinkedIn, and X. No scraping random directories. No guessing. No praying your cold email doesn't vanish. You get the post, the intent signal, and an outreach draft in one place.
Most founders spend hours hunting leads. We flipped it: LeadGrids scans public posts where people are actively asking for solutions, then ranks the ones that look ready to buy. It's basically demand capture instead of demand creation.
LinkedIn is saturated. Cold email is noisy. Ads are expensive. So I built LeadGrids to find live buying intent across Reddit, LinkedIn, and X, then turn that into leads and outreach from one dashboard. If you're solo, this saves your week.
LeadGrids does the boring part of sales and content: 1. finds people asking for help 2. drafts outreach 3. watches competitors 4. turns trending Reddit posts into social content The goal is simple: ship pipeline and posts without hiring.
Static databases are full of stale contacts. Meanwhile, your real buyers are posting live problems on Reddit, LinkedIn, and X right now. LeadGrids finds those conversations first, so you can reply while intent is hot.
If you are a solo founder, every hour spent hunting leads is an hour not building. LeadGrids watches the channels where buyers ask for help, surfaces the best matches, and gives you a message to send. Less searching. More selling.
Example: Someone on Reddit asks, 'What tool helps me automate lead follow-up?' LeadGrids flags it as high-intent. You get the lead, the context, and a personalized reply. That is a lot better than sending 500 cold emails into the void.
Define your offer. Let LeadGrids scan Reddit, LinkedIn, and X. Review buyers asking for exactly what you sell. Send tailored outreach. Track what converts. It's simple because the best leads are already talking.
The first people using LeadGrids don't want more data. They want conversations that sound like money. That's the point: show up where intent already exists, instead of spending all week manufacturing it.
When someone says 'we need a better way to do this,' that's the moment. LeadGrids is built to catch those moments across Reddit, LinkedIn, and X before they turn into form fills, demos, or a competitor's sale.
Angle: replace cold lists
I think most outbound tools are optimized for the wrong thing. They help you contact people. They do not help you find people who are already shopping. That gap is why I built LeadGrids. It scans Reddit, LinkedIn, and X for posts where people are actively asking for solutions, then surfaces the best matches as leads. So instead of sending generic messages to a stale list, you can reply to live demand. For solo founders and small SaaS teams, that matters a lot. When you do sales yourself, every bad lead costs real time. The bigger shift here is not automation. It is intent. If someone is publicly describing the exact problem your product solves, that is not a cold prospect. That is a buyer raising their hand. I built the product around that idea. Find the signal. Act fast. Stop guessing. Curious if others are seeing the same thing with outbound getting worse.
Angle: build-in-public
I kept seeing the same pattern: Founders do not actually need more leads. They need better timing. Most tools hand you contact data. What you really want is a buyer saying, in public, that they need help right now. That became the core idea behind LeadGrids. We look across Reddit, LinkedIn, and X for high-intent conversations, then organize them into a workflow: lead discovery, outreach, competitor monitoring, analytics. There is also a content side to it, because the same people who need leads usually need distribution. So we built a way to turn trending Reddit posts into cross-platform content and schedule it out. I know that is a lot for one product. But the thesis is simple: If you're a small team, your tools should help you move from signal to action fast. Not make you stitch together six apps and a spreadsheet. If you're doing founder-led sales, I think this is the kind of workflow that actually matters.
Angle: narrow ICP
One thing I changed while building LeadGrids: I stopped trying to make it for everyone. The strongest use case is pretty clear now: solo B2B SaaS founders under $20k MRR who need pipeline now. Why them? Because they cannot afford stale lists, broad targeting, or spending hours manually monitoring Reddit and X. They need a fast way to find people already asking for what they sell. That same workflow also fits: - growth marketers at lean SaaS teams - demand gen leads at tiny startups - agencies selling B2B services But the main promise stays the same: find live buying intent, message it, track it. No magic. Just better timing. If you are in that stage, I would love to know what your current prospecting workflow looks like and what is still painfully manual.

Maker's first comment
Hey PH, I built LeadGrids because I kept running into the same problem: cold outbound was getting noisier, and static lead lists were getting worse. As a solo founder, I wanted a way to find people already describing the problem my product solves, without spending half my day manually searching Reddit, LinkedIn, and X. The core idea is simple: social posts are often earlier buying signals than forms, demos, or replies. LeadGrids watches for those signals, ranks them by intent, and gives you a place to act fast with outreach and tracking in the same workflow. I’m not pretending this is perfect yet. I’m especially interested in whether the lead ranking feels accurate, whether the outreach suggestions sound human, and whether the product is more useful as a pure lead finder or as a lead finder plus content engine.
Pinned maker comment
Would love feedback on two things: the quality of the lead matching, and whether the homepage should focus only on lead discovery or keep the content engine as a secondary feature.
Meta
Tired of buying stale lead lists?
Hypothesis: solo B2B founders and small SaaS teams will convert better from live-intent social signals than from broad interest targeting. LeadGrids finds people actively asking for solutions on Reddit, LinkedIn, and X, then turns those posts into leads and outreach. No more guessing who needs your offer.
Google Search
Find people asking for your solution now
Hypothesis: searchers with strong outbound intent will click a tool that promises active buying conversations, not generic prospecting data. LeadGrids scans Reddit, LinkedIn, and X for posts where buyers are describing the exact problem you solve. See live intent. Reply faster. Track what works.
Reddit Promoted
Manual prospecting is brutal.
Hypothesis: indie founders in r/SaaS and r/indiehackers want a faster way to find people already asking for help, without scraping forums by hand. LeadGrids monitors public posts across Reddit, LinkedIn, and X, surfaces high-intent conversations, and helps you reach out from one dashboard.

Post a blunt build-in-public breakdown with before/after prospecting workflow, then reply to every comment with numbers and examples.
Use the audience for founder-led sales lessons, not product promotion; frame LeadGrids as a response to outbound getting harder.
LinkedIn founder circles
Post screenshots of real lead examples and a short story about finding active buyers; comment on other founder posts with useful lead-gen tactics.
Cold outreach template
Hey {firstName} — saw your post about {context} and it looked like a live buying signal, not just a comment. I built a tool that finds these posts across Reddit, LinkedIn, and X and drafts a reply you can send fast. If you want, I can show you one example for your offer.
Product Hunt timing
Launch on Tuesday or Wednesday at 12:01 AM PST, then stay active for the first 6 hours. That gives you the best overlap with US morning traffic and enough time to respond to every comment while momentum is still building.
