I'll find your first 20 customers for free — just tell me what you're building
Getting your first customers is the part nobody warns you about.
You spend months building something genuinely useful and then realize that building it and selling it are completely different skills. Most founders I talk to are stuck at exactly this stage — great product, empty pipeline.
So here's what I'm offering.
Tell me what you're building and I'll use nopp.us — to pull 20 qualified leads for your specific product. Real decision makers, relevant to what you actually sell, with enough context to start a real conversation.
Not a spreadsheet. Not a scraped list. Actual targeted prospects with tech stack data, pain points, and the kind of signal that tells you why they need what you built and when to reach out.
Here's what I need from you:
Your website URL
One sentence on who your ideal customer is
The problem you're solving
I'll come back with 20 leads and you can see exactly how nopp.us works in real time on your actual business.
If it works — and I think it will — there's a free trial waiting for you at nopp.us. No credit card. No commitment. Just results first.
Drop your details below. I'll work through as many as I can over the next 48 hours.
Hi Noppus,
Thanks for the refreshing offer.
Website URL: Please refer to my profile, I'm not allowed to post links yet.
ICP: UK property investors who have just completed (or are about to complete) a material refurbishment and are refinancing to capture uplift.
The problem I'm solving:
I'm currently building SurveyPack, a tool that helps UK property investors present their refurbished properties in a structured, surveyor-friendly format before lender valuation.
@Noppus
This hits exactly where most of us get stuck. I just launched FaunaDx this week (AI animal identification app that turns wildlife spotting into a collection game) and honestly, finding the first wave of users feels harder than building the whole thing.
The behavioral signals angle is smart. I've been wondering if people who download nature photography apps or use wildlife guides would be interested, but guessing vs knowing is the difference between scattered effort and focused outreach.
Website: faunadx.com (it's free on iOS right now)
Ideal customer: Nature lovers, families with kids who go hiking, wildlife photographers who want to ID animals on the spot
Problem: You see an interesting bird or animal but have no idea what it is, and by the time you get home to Google it, you've forgotten the details
Really curious to see what buyer signals exist around this space. The tool sounds like it could save weeks of guessing.
Hey Noppus, love this initiative! Here are my details:
Website: https://promptgear.dev
Ideal customer: Solo founders, freelance developers, and small agencies who need to deliver websites fast without spending days coding.
Problem we solve: Building a website from scratch takes too long and costs too much. PromptGear generates production-ready React & Node apps from a text prompt in seconds - full code ownership, one-click hosting, no lock-in.
Would love to see what nopp.us pulls for this. Thanks!
Here are 46 prospects you can target immediately - https://nopp.us/shared/leads/9cbd7da7e1de2c6beb12044a45121f60
Hey,
Great idea. How is i going?
Here is your ICP - https://nopp.us/shared/icp/92b7d8289fd44941
Hey Noppus, thanks for doing this! I don't have a standard SaaS, but let's see if your tool can help with a service business.
I'm Arseni, currently living in Da Nang, Vietnam.
Website URL: I don't have a landing page yet, so I'm using my LinkedIn.
Ideal Customer: Western tech founders or potential partners who want to build a startup or scale their tech team in Vietnam to significantly optimize costs.
The problem I'm solving: I know the Vietnamese IT market inside out. I have a massive database of local tech talent, deep market research (including a comprehensive salary guide I put together), and all the connections needed to open a company here from scratch.
My dream is to build my own company in Vietnam. I have the motivation, the data, and the local base. The only missing piece right now is a partner or a solid first client who is ready to jump into this story with me.
Let me know if this gives you enough context!
Hey Arseni — this is actually a perfect use case, not a weird one.
Your value prop is cleaner than most SaaS: Western founders are hemorrhaging money on engineering costs and you have the exact solution sitting in Da Nang. The problem isn't your offer — it's that nobody is packaging it in terms of dollars saved per year.
The LinkedIn-as-landing-page thing is fine for now. Nopp can work with it. But the first thing the ICP builder will probably tell you is that your messaging needs to lead with cost savings, not location. 'Build your tech team in Vietnam' is a feature. 'Cut your engineering costs by 60% without cutting quality' is a benefit. That reframe alone changes your conversion rate.
The salary guide is gold — use it as a free lead magnet immediately.
Try the tool with your LinkedIn URL, share what comes back. The $1,000 guarantee stands for you too — 50 outreach messages, 30 days. Let's find out together.
That's a bold offer. How do you actually find the right customers for someone? Do you use cold outreach or more community-based methods?
Consistency is key. Nopp.us identifies customers for you....many customers. We even give you a game-plan. Founders need to learn to be more aggressive. Sending one email and hoping for a response is useless.
Great initiative! Finding the first customers is really important for any new product.
I work on Alight Motion related content for mobile video editors and creators who want easy guides and resources to improve their editing skills.
I’m interested to see how your system helps in finding real, qualified leads. Sounds like a useful idea!
Go ahead and try it. If you or anyone reading this follows our process and gets no customers, come back here and I will give you $1000.
So how exactly will I know the app worked? Is there a specific way it distributes and reports back to me the leads?
What did you try to do?
This sounds useful. Before sharing details — how do you define “qualified” for early-stage SaaS that’s still validating positioning?
Curious how you avoid pulling leads that match demographics but not urgency.
We also use buyer intent signals
Interesting — when you say buyer intent signals, are you leaning more on behavioral triggers (recent searches, tool adoption, hiring signals, content engagement, etc.) or problem-aware activity?
I’ve noticed early-stage SaaS struggle because demographic fit is easy to find, but timing is the real variable — someone can match ICP perfectly and still not be ready for months.
I’m actually building a tool focused on helping small businesses and marketers capture that “intent moment” through SEO + AEO content and structured FAQs that surface when users are actively asking solutions.
Happy to share details if you think it’s a relevant use case for your lead discovery process — curious how you evaluate urgency signals on your side.
This is interesting.
I’m building Skillentis — a developer-focused SaaS that transforms GitHub evolution into a longitudinal technical maturity credential.
Primary audience right now: early-career developers who want to prove real growth beyond static CVs.
Secondary audience: tech recruiters looking for deeper evaluation signals.
Problem: traditional hiring signals (CVs, coding tests, stars) fail to reflect longitudinal technical evolution.
Happy to explore if this fits your framework.
I have seen your primary audience. however, this is what our platform recommends. https://nopp.us/shared/icp/631e4875efcb4f32
Here is a list of 49 prospects we found for you. https://nopp.us/shared/leads/703915bdc06314f50bea254e78ba3a49
This is a generous offer - I'll bite.
Website: https://book-digest.com
Ideal customer: Busy professionals, founders, and consultants (25-45) who want to learn from business books fast but don't have time to read full books.
Problem we're solving: Most book summary apps give you shallow 5-minute reads. We provide structured, actionable summaries (1,600-2,300 words) with insights, chapter breakdowns, quotes, and action items - so you can actually apply what you learn.
Tech stack context: We're B2C SaaS, freemium model (3 books/month free, €9/month premium). 450+ books in our library.
Curious to see how nopp.us identifies buyers for a consumer product vs typical B2B SaaS.
If your tool can find people actively looking for Blinkist/GetAbstract alternatives, or professionals building their knowledge base, that'd be incredibly valuable.
Looking forward to seeing what you pull!
Here is what our tool recommends as your ICP. https://nopp.us/shared/icp/1b3a31d1ae424fc7
Here are 18 prospects you can reach out to - https://nopp.us/shared/leads/a593d8bebf73de530ecba8945e43ba3a
God sent. That is awesome .Seems to know my real pain!
hahaha.... I love how you said it. Now try the "Get Customers". I hope it also impresses you even more.
Hey 👋
Quick founder dilemma.
If you’re early-stage and building AI or SaaS tools, is it smarter to combine everything into
one product to build a stronger brand, or keep separate focused products under the same umbrella?
What would you do and why?
Appreciate honest feedback.
Great timing to be thinking about this early — it's way harder to untangle later.
My take: start focused, stay focused longer than feels comfortable. One product, one customer problem, one clear value prop. The temptation to bundle is usually a positioning problem in disguise — if you're combining things, ask yourself whether it's because they genuinely belong together or because neither feels strong enough alone.
Build one thing people can't stop talking about. The portfolio comes later.
What's the specific combo you're weighing? Happy to give more pointed thoughts.
Appreciate the insight — especially the “positioning problem in disguise” point.
I’ve already built a text moderation tool and I’m planning to build a fact-checking tool next. They’re adjacent, but not the exact same problem.
I’m still unsure whether to bundle them under one product or keep them separate at this stage.
Would you stay focused on one, or treat them as part of the same category?
If the person who needs text moderation is the same person who needs fact-checking — same title, same company type, same budget owner — bundle them. One product, one ICP, one sales motion. The combined value prop is actually stronger: 'content integrity platform' beats 'moderation tool' and 'fact checker' separately.
If they serve different buyers — say moderation is bought by trust & safety teams and fact-checking is bought by editorial or legal — keep them separate. Bundling confuses the pitch and slows down sales because you're suddenly in two conversations at once.
The trap most founders fall into is bundling for efficiency reasons ('it's easier to maintain one product') rather than customer reasons. That's building for yourself, not for the market.
My honest take: stay focused on whichever one has a paying customer or the clearest path to one right now. Validate that fully before adding the second. The bundle story is much easier to tell once you have proof that both halves work individually.
What does your current user base for the moderation tool look like? That'll tell you whether fact-checking is a natural expansion or a distraction.
The moderation tool is fairly newly released and extremely minimal in user-base as of now - I guess it could be fallible / infallible both ways if I choose either. The reason for choosing to bundle the 2 together (text moderation/AI fact checker) was because to avoid buying more domains, thinking of new design structures, new logos, new policies etc. - One place where it all makes sense under 1 brand after all. I think the natural response would be brand recognition its all about that - I don't think separating products would bring much results in the long run, obviously I'll run into infrastructure issues but I would think I'm able to bypass them no? if provided I can pull it off. Separation ensures smooth running and Bundling increases brand power. And that's maybe the tangle where things could get ugly.

The idea of gaining traction early is tough, this is a cool approach to solve our problems
Thank you for your feedback. I hope the platform helps you. Let me know if you need any help in getting customers. I will offer my honest advice.
tell me if u can do something with this -> search on google play store ->blamegame , its in early access.
This resonates so much. I spent 6 months building a "smart chatbot" and thought the tech was the problem. Turns out, I was solving the wrong thing entirely.
The real breakthrough came when I stopped asking "how do I make the AI smarter?" and started asking "what do users actually want done while they sleep?"
Finding those first customers is brutal. You build something genuinely useful and then... crickets. The gap between "built" and "discovered" is way wider than most founders expect.
Love the "results first" approach here. Too many tools want payment before proof.
You are absolutely right! As founders, we have limited resources, but everyone is competing for them. The idea is to show people that this is real and it works. So many people have signed up and are seeing the benefit first hand. Not trying to "sell", just being honest.
This is an amazing offer! Getting 20 qualified, real leads tailored to your product is exactly what early-stage founders need to start building momentum—love how practical and hands-on this approach is.
Thank you very much! I hope it helps founders. We are a very lonely bunch of people, dreaming of changing the world!
What a great idea. For me, finding the first batch of customers has been too slow. My website has been live for a while, but I still haven't had my first users. I sincerely want to create a product that users need. I currently developed an AI-driven interior and exterior design website, and I need users to use it and give me feedback. I can't post links yet, you can search for Janvai or contact me to get one.
Hey,
That was the main reason we built this for my fellow founders. I totally understand the struggle and many good projects die because most of us are unable to find customers or are not even able to take the next step once they identify a prospect.
Feel free to test the platform and give me your feedback.
Is this your site ? https://janvai.com/
Yes, this is my website, welcome to use it, I can recharge your credit.
This is a great initiative! I’m actually testing the platform right now to see how it performs for my project. Love the "results first" approach—it's exactly what founders need when they're stuck in the building phase. Looking forward to seeing the output!
Thanks Petral. Glad you are testing and I appreciate the feedback . Please let us know what you think and if you have any problems, suggestions or recommendations.
This is a solid offer. Finding the first customers was honestly harder for me than building the product.
One thing I learned the hard way: leads matter, but timing matters more. The best conversions came when I reached out right when someone was actively looking for a solution — not cold months later.
If your tool helps identify that kind of “ready intent,” that’s where the real value is.
I totally agree. Try the Buying intent tool on the platform. Also, you will get daily buying signals on your emails based on your ICP and platform activity.
I built a simple coaching app to help people regain clarity and momentum in their careers and lives.
It guides users through setting meaningful goals, breaking them into small daily actions, and staying focused through short prompts and an AI coach.
I’m looking for a small group of people willing to try it and share honest feedback while it’s still early.
I’m not allowed to post links yet unfortunately but I did register and it gave me several matches. Can I export that list?
The value is not in exporting the list. The value is getting quality prospects who are likely to buy your product. But you can do anything with the lists you create.
Hey Noppus,
sounds interesting, I gave it a link to my website and it correctly identified main ICPs. Looks pretty clear too. Good job. I built something similar in the past (never published anywhere) and your project seems to do a better job.
Currently my new project https://grandpacad.com is focused on B2C, but I am thinking doing B2B behind the scenes - as an affiliate growth channel. So I would like to connect with smaller companies across Europe or US that are selling 3D printers or parts for them. They could offer discount code to their customers and get part of my revenue as well.
In a nutshell GrandpaCAD is a 3D model creator for 3d printable parts. So hobbyists and makers can create their parts without learning complex CAD software.
Would love to see if you can get 20 relevant customers.
Hey ,
Thats amazing. Glad you tried. My dream is get customers for as many founders as possible. I know how hard it is to grow and focus. What I have built is to turn any founder into a sales person with ease.
Here is the ICP, not sure if you got the same or a different variation - https://nopp.us/shared/icp/13bd49b1e87448bb
Here are 50 prospects. You have their Linkedin and some of them you may have emails and you can use that to contact them. If you go to the email hub, you can also connect your prefered email and send Ai emails directly from our platform. Its very very easy. Let me know your thoughts.
https://nopp.us/shared/leads/9748a4012dd5387fcc5835d0e8c5ca89
Thanks, just used it a bit more and signed up.
One issue with your leads link. Every single person recommended is part of some school or educational facility, not at all what I am looking for unfortunately.
It seems like from a search term: "Find Founder/Owner, 3D Printing Studio Manager, Makerspace Director in 3D Printing Services, Rapid Prototyping" it only searched for "Makerspace Director".
I think you have a pretty amazing product if you can deliver on your promise. I think I am starting to get it.
Thanks for the feedback. You can look for customers from the get customers tab. I did the search again and these are the results I got. Try them out and see if they are more valuable. These are 47 people and I believe they are different from your earlier list.

A few things worth knowing before you drop your URL:
I built nopp.us because I was frustrated watching great products fail at the exact problem this thread is about. Not because the founders weren't smart or the products weren't good — but because finding the right customers at the right moment is genuinely hard without the right infrastructure.
The leads I'm pulling here aren't coming from Zoominfo or any legacy database. nopp.us finds prospects based on behavioral signals — tech stack, hiring patterns, funding events, pain points — not just demographic filters. That's why the results feel different from a typical lead list.
A few things that will help me get you the best results:
Be specific about your ICP. "B2B SaaS companies" is too broad. "Series A fintech startups that just hired their first sales hire" is something I can actually work with.
Not sure who your ICP actually is yet? That's more common than you think and it's not a blocker. Drop your URL on nopp.us, Ideal Customer Profile, and let the AI help you figure it out. It'll analyze what you're building and start surfacing the profile of people most likely to need it. Sometimes seeing the leads first is what finally makes the ICP click.
Tell me the problem you solve, not the feature you built. "We help teams reduce churn" lands better than "we built a customer health scoring dashboard."
UK/EU founders — totally welcome. Regional targeting is something nopp.us handles and I want to stress test it across different markets.
I'll reply directly to each comment with your leads. If the quality surprises you, the free trial is at nopp.us — no credit card, no setup headache, no Salesforce required.
Let's get you some customers.
