I don't have a product yet, can I still use this?

Yes. You can save relevant threads before you ship, then decide whether to follow up when you have something useful to show.

How many customers can I realistically get this way?

It varies by niche, product, and source volume. Treat this as a validation and conversation channel, not an acquisition forecast.

Does IntentHunter tell me to pitch every thread?

No. IntentHunter ranks conversations and can provide response guidance, but it does not send messages or decide what you should post elsewhere.

Use case

Find early customer conversations.

Pre-revenue, your job is to find the first real humans who might use your thing. IntentHunter scans supported public sources for conversations where those people may be discussing the problem you solve.

Purchase intent 15m ago 94

What's the best [your category] tool for a solo founder?

Just launched my own SaaS. Looking for [exactly what you sell]. Most options are enterprise-y. Anyone built/use something lighter?

Pain point 5m ago 88

I wish there was a [your product description], anyone built this?

Spent two days looking. Closest things are too heavy. Almost considering building it myself if nobody has.

Why this matters

What's actually happening today

Cold outbound at zero customers is brutal

No social proof, no logos, no familiar brand. Cold outbound can burn through your market before you learn much.

Launch directories give you spikes, not always learning

Product Hunt, BetaList, etc. can surface curious visitors who churn within 24 hours. Stronger learning often comes from real people describing the problem in their own words.

Founder-led learning can work before you have scale

Many early startups learn from a few focused communities before they scale. The bottleneck is finding threads that are relevant enough to deserve real attention.

What you get

What IntentHunter does for you

Scoring that respects your tiny ICP

When you're pre-revenue, every signal matters more. Scoring helps higher-fit conversations rise above noisier matches.

Pre-revenue triage workflow

Response guidance should stay honest: no claims of scale, no social proof you don't have, and no implied auto-outreach.

Save threads for post-launch follow-up

Pre-launch? Save threads now so you have real customer language and a list of source conversations to review after you ship.

Trial access before revenue

Use the current trial and plan limits to test whether public-conversation discovery works for your category before committing more budget.

How it works

From setup to your first useful signal

01

Describe what you're building

Even if it's not live yet. The clearer the description, the better the scoring.
02

We surface relevant threads as scans run

Supported public sources, sorted by likelihood the poster would care about your thing.
03

Review or save

If you're live, review the source. If pre-launch, save for later. Either way you're collecting real threads from people describing the problem.
