I used my own tool to get leads for my SaaS — it actually worked (Poll + Results)
launched LeadSynth AI just over a week ago. It's a lead gen tool that finds real-time Reddit conversations where people are actively talking about the problem your SaaS solves.
Instead of running ads or doing cold outreach, I used LeadSynth AI… to promote LeadSynth AI. (Yes, very meta.)
📊 Here’s what happened in 10 days:
751 unique visitors
1,495 page views
30 signups
1 paying customer
Bounce rate improved after I talked to users and updated copy
All of this was without a launch campaign, newsletter, or ad spend. Just surfing real conversations and adding value.
I’m still early in the journey, but it made me question something...
Would love to hear what worked for you — especially in the early, awkward “0-to-1” days.
Also happy to swap ideas on traction, retention, or cold-start pain.
Let’s build better, together
Brilliant Idea. testing it out. Will give feedback if it works for me
Thank you! Looking forward to your feedback!
Sounds good! Do you plan to focus on other communities in the future?
Are there other communities with the same weight as Reddit out there btw?
Yes, we are looking to expand into X and LinkedIn soon! We feel that they also hold the same weight as Reddit but the weight is always respective to your product as well and who your target audience is as well so its all product dependent really.
Super smart strategy — using the product to grow the product. 🔁
Curious: how are you identifying which Reddit threads are worth jumping into? Manual review or is it filtered by intent?
Filtered by intent. But you have the choice to pick but we recommend for you based on intent.
Great, will use for next product for sure!
Thank you, looking forward to having you use our platform enjoy the 7 Day Free Trial here: https://leadsynthai.vercel.app/
This is a really interesting take, engaged communities (a la reddit) could be a goldmine if used correctly. Will give it a try!
Thank you, hope you enjoy https://leadsynthai.vercel.app/ .
I want to ask can i use this tool for market research and idea validation?
Of course you can just put your idea in and get validating. https://leadsynthai.vercel.app/
How did you get the word out about your SaaS?
2 ways:
I use LeadSynth Ai To find my customers for LeadSynth AI by simply inputting my product name and description and I get cracking on talking with the leads.
Social Media posts: LinkedIn, X, IH ProductHunt
Thank You.
No problem.
I’ve already come across numerous Reddit lead generation tools. How do you intend to differentiate yourself and compete?
We differentiate with our matching algorithms and our ease of use and user experience where you can track progress as well as get personalized AI suggestions for DMs and comments based on your product unlike generic lead generation tools out there.
really interesting read! getting a paid users within 10 days of launch is a big feat!
Thank you! Would love for you to try it out.
I would love to try out your tool. What's the best way to do it?
We have a 7 Day Free Trial rolling at https://leadsynthai.vercel.app/ no credit card required hope you love it!
Hey,
I’m validating something in that space (Droon), focused on helping founders turn their users into a launch + feedback machine.
Could use your thoughts if you’re interested: https://droon.vercel.app
I’ll defo try it out, can you also check out my product as well and give feedback as well!
wow will definitely try it out
Looking forward to having you on our platform Nathan! Don't hesitate to drop some feedback if you can!
Man, it looks like a great tool, but I’m curious—how do you filter through the entire Redis database and identify contacts? Still, great initiative, and I’d love to discuss it. We’re actually working on a productivity tool that helps software teams streamline their engineering processes. Imagine having an AI Senior Software Engineer on your project that can help you onboard new engineers in hours, not 90 days; run regression tests in 5 minutes, not weeks; and finalize releases in minutes, not three days. Catch bugs earlier and get insights so your project feels like it’s talking to you.
We are currently looking for 3 more customers for our Pilot Program, and would love to connect with you for that.
Would be more than happy to connect with you. As for the database question, we don’t have a static database of Reddit posts we gather data live as soon as a user enters their product and search based on that product and get those results in an efficient way.
You can connect with me on this email: [email protected]
It's really awesome, but in the meantime, it's very resource-consuming, and I would love to discuss how you identify relevant groups based on startup nature.
Actually, I will discuss this stuff on a call. Are you available any time on Tuesday or Wednesday? I would also like to explore future collaboration.
I am available on Wednesday. What time zone are you in? Im in Gulf Timezone. Email me.
Bro, I scheduled a meeting. Let me know if that time works for you.
Nice, Mudassir. Yep, that tracks with what I saw in my first 10 days, the “0 to 1” part was basically finding the right active threads and then iterating the copy after a couple of real conversations. What time did you schedule, and what timezone are you in? Also, what are you building right now, and are you already getting any signups or is it still purely validation?
I'm in GMT+5, and I will send you an invitation via email.
Received the invite, it works for me. Look forward to meet soon.
Not directly related to you product, which sound awesome by the way, but reddit is an actual source people use for branding their SAAS products. I have never really used it, just thought it was the weird side of the internet... like Facebook. 😂
No seriously - reddit is good source for this?
Yes, because reddit has so many communities and many users who talk openly and ask questions etc. its very active. You should try it out we found using our app that searches through reddit 800 leads so far because it helps you find people on reddit who are discussing problems that your product solves. Reddit is not like insta or facebook where people flex/post pics of themselves.
Wow, Just joined this space and the first thing i found is this post. This is very similar to what I'm building 🙂. Although I just use it for my personal use in CLI but have been thinking about building Web UI for quite a while now.
Goodluck!
Thanks for letting us know.
Might use it for my next Saas product sales lead generation
looking forward to having you on our platform. If you got any questions feel free to reach out.
congratulations Abdelrahman for this tool that you created, it seems like it works!
Thank you. Can’t wait to see you on our platform.
