Unique Selling Proposition (USP):
Unlike traditional cold outreach or SEO, this tool taps into active, real discussions on Reddit, offering real-time insights and warm engagement opportunities—positioned as a 24/7 research assistant for customer discovery.
Launch Strategy:
- Launch a minimum viable product (MVP) with basic Reddit scanning and notifications.
- Invite early SaaS founders for beta testing and feedback.
