I built a lead gen tool because I was tired of looking for customers manually

before this I was literally scrolling reddit and twitter trying to find people who maybe need my tool

it worked sometimes but man its so boring

you miss 90% of posts  
you find them too late  
and most of the time its just random noise

so I started building leadverse

it monitors places like reddit, x, linkedin etc and finds posts where people are already looking for something you offer

like someone asking for a tool  
or looking for alternative  
or saying they need help with some problem  
or trying to hire someone

then leadverse scores the posts with ai and shows only the ones that actually look like leads

not just keyword matches

because keyword alerts are honestly trash most of the time lol

the hardest part was to make it understand intent

because many posts look relevant but they are not leads at all

some are promo posts  
some are just discussions  
some already solved the problem  
some are people showing off what they built

so I had to rebuild the whole thing around intent scoring

now it can show me posts that look like real opportunities and give me some context so I know what to say

still far from perfect but its working and people are using it

and the coolest thing is that now I basically have lead gen engine for anything else I build in future

like if I build another tool tomorrow, I dont have to start from zero and wonder where users are

I can just plug it into leadverse and find people already talking about that problem

so im not only building a product for others, im building something I can use myself for every next product too

thats it basically

still building, still learning, still trying to make it better every day

I wanted a simple and affordable way to connect with leads.. so I built a tool for that and made over $12k in ~8 months
