The Problem
Early-stage SaaS founders are flying blind when finding their first customers. You post on ProductHunt, Reddit, Twitter—get crickets. You've built something people need, but you're guessing at who actually wants it. Meanwhile, thousands of people are publicly complaining about the exact problem you solve on X/Twitter, but you have no systematic way to find them.
What I'm Thinking of Building
IntentMine is a lightweight scraper + CRM dashboard that finds high-intent buyers on X by searching for specific pain signals ("I hate [competitor]", "looking for alternative to", "[problem] is so frustrating"). You get a searchable list of real people expressing real pain, their Twitter profiles, engagement data, and DM-ready contact info—no manual outreach needed. Integrates with your existing tools (Notion, Airtable, CSV export).
Who It's For
Solo founders and early-stage SaaS teams (1–10 people) building B2B products; bootstrapped or pre-Series A; founders who've already validated an idea but struggle with customer acquisition.
Key Features (Planned)
- Keyword scraping: Search for pain signals like 'I hate [competitor]' and 'looking for alternative to'
- Searchable prospect database: Export leads to CSV, Notion, Airtable, or reply on X directly
- Intent filtering: Sort by engagement, follower count, and recency to prioritize warm leads
I'm validating this idea before writing a single line of code. If this resonates with you, I'd love your feedback:
If you could scrape X for people actively complaining about your competitor or problem, how much would you pay per month to save that research time and get a warm lead list instead of cold posting on ProductHunt?
