IntentHunter

Reach the buyer before the demo form: intent for B2B SaaS founders.

While you do founder-led sales, teams compare tools out loud on Hacker News, Reddit, and X long before they book a demo. IntentHunter scores each evaluation thread 0-100 against your ideal customer, says in one line why it matched, drafts a reply, and links you to the post.

What's actually happening today

The shortlist is set before they reach your form

By the time someone fills out a demo form, they have usually already picked three tools to compare. The moment to get on that list is the thread where they ask which tools to consider.

Your buyers research in public, and a competitor answers

A 50-person team posts "Ask HN: right BI tool for us?" and gets ten replies in an afternoon. If you are not in that thread, whichever competitor showed up becomes the default answer.

Outbound motions are not built for this

Account lists and email sequences are a different job. Reading a live thread, judging fit, and writing a reply that does not read like a pitch belongs with a founder or founding marketer. IntentHunter does the finding so they only do the judging.

What IntentHunter does for you

Scored against your ideal customer

Each thread gets a 0-100 score using your ICP: company size, industry, role, and stack. A request from a Series A team on a startup budget scores differently than an enterprise RFP, and the one-line reason tells you which.

A project per product line

Run a separate project for each product, each with its own scored inbox, competitors, and sources, so a multi-product company keeps its signals clean.

Every signal links to the source thread

Open the original Hacker News or Reddit post, read what they have outgrown and what budget they hint at, and use the drafted reply to decide the next step on the platform.

Route hot threads to the team

Email is the default. On plans that include them, Slack, Discord, and Telegram can carry the highest-scored threads straight to the channel where sales lives.

From setup to your first useful signal

  1. 01

    Describe your ideal customer

    Company size, industry, role, and stack signals. The clearer the ICP, the sharper the 0-100 score.

  2. 02

    IntentHunter scans the communities

    Reddit, Hacker News, and Bluesky by default, including the B2B and stack-specific subreddits where evaluation happens, with X, LinkedIn, Threads, and YouTube on plans that include them.

  3. 03

    Reply, save, or skip

    Read the source thread and the drafted reply, then decide whether to show up in it, save it for content, or pass.

Common questions

Can my sales or growth team use this?
Yes. Multi-seat plans exist for small teams. A common setup keeps one founder or marketing lead triaging the scored inbox and routes the hottest threads to sales through Slack or Telegram on plans that include alert channels.
Does it integrate with our CRM?
CRM enrichment is not the core workflow today. IntentHunter finds the public thread, scores it, explains why it matched, and drafts a reply. If pushing records into a CRM is your main need, a sales-data tool may fit better.
How is this different from Common Room or Pocus?
Common Room and Pocus unify owned-community and product signals for revenue-ops teams. IntentHunter watches public evaluation threads on Reddit, Hacker News, and X, scores them by how close someone is to buying, and hands you a reply and a link. Different scope, different workflow.
