Show IH: I built a free tool to find your ICP from LinkedIn profiles

Something I underestimated when starting my SaaS: figuring out your ICP is way easier in hindsight than upfront.

You start with something vague like "we sell to media companies" or "we target agencies" and that feels fine. Then you look at who's actually replying, booking calls, buying, and renewing, and the real pattern turns out to be much more specific than that.

It's not just the company type. The role matters, how senior they are, the industry, how they talk about their own work, what they post about, the problems they're clearly close to, who else is in their orbit on LinkedIn.

LinkedIn actually became pretty useful for us here. Not for cold outreach, but for studying our best fit people. We'd go look at customers, almost-customers, people engaging with industry posts, and people we thought would be a great fit, then try to spot what they had in common.

Worked okay but it was slow and pretty manual.

So we built a small free tool around it: https://linkedpanda.com/tool/icp-finder

You drop in 1 to 10 LinkedIn profiles of people who'd be ideal customers (current customers, dream customers, warm leads, anyone you keep seeing in your niche). It looks for the common pattern and sends you a report on who your ICP actually seems to be.

The idea is pretty simple. Instead of staring at a blank page trying to define your ICP from scratch, start with real people who already look like great customers and work backwards.

Probably most useful if you're doing founder-led sales, still testing a niche, or getting LinkedIn engagement but not sure who's worth paying attention to.
Also launched on Product Hunt today, would really appreciate an upvote or comment if it feels useful: https://www.producthunt.com/products/icp-finder-by-linked-panda

If you try it, would love to know whether the report matches how you currently think about your ICP.

    LinkedPanda is useful, but the name may cap how seriously this gets taken.

    The product is not just “LinkedIn profile analysis.”
    It is buyer pattern detection.

    That’s a stronger category than the current name suggests.

    If this grows into ICP intelligence, lead scoring, and founder-led sales research, a cleaner SaaS-style .com would age better.

    Beryxa.com or Xevoa.com would fit this direction much better.
