Show IH: I built a Reddit tool that isn’t a bot because someone had to stop SaaS founders from turning Reddit into a landfill of automated

Founder: “Reddit doesn’t work.”
Also founder: posts a promo in r/ enrtrepreneur at 3 AM with a title like “Feedback appreciated 🙏”.

Mods: bonk → removed.

Founder: shocked. SHOCKED

So I built RedditGrow, a tool for people who want customers from Reddit…
…but also want to stop humiliating themselves in public.

Here’s the issue:

Most founders think they’re “doing Reddit outreach”
But what they’re really doing is scrolling aimlessly until their brain melts, replying to random posts that have nothing to do with their product, and then acting surprised when their account gets shadowbanned faster than a crypto bro in 2021.

RedditGrow fixes that by doing something revolutionary: not being stupid or automating post like a stupid bot

It scans Reddit 24/7 and finds real, high-intent posts where someone is literraly describing the problem your SaaS solves.

Not “kinda maybe related”.
Not “could fit if you squint”.
Like “Hi, I need [exactly your product], please help me.”

Then it drafts replies that actually sound human, not like those AI bots that reply “GREAT POST! CHECK MY APP!” to a thread about someone’s dead cat.

You can approve/edit everything (so you don’t look like a bot with early-onset dementia), it warms up your account like a civilized person, helps you slide into DMs without getting insta-flagged, and even gives you a roadmap so you stop posting like a lost intern.

It’s basically Reddit outreach… if Reddit outreach stopped being embarrassing.

So I’m curious:

Are you actually using Reddit as a growth channel, or are you still in the “mods deleted my post so the platform is broken” ?

    Since you’re all about finding real customers for founders, you should definitely check out the Validation Arena.
    It’s a $19 challenge where builders compete to get paid users—the winner gets a trip to Tokyo.
    The prize pool just started at $0, so the odds of winning that trip are massive right now

    That angle makes sense. On Reddit, the line between "helpful workflow" and "spam cannon" gets crossed really fast, so keeping a human in the loop is probably the whole product. Hard part is saving founders time without nudging them into low-effort posting, curious how you're handling that.
