Guyyysss, I think I’m officially exhausted from marketing 😭. Over the past few weeks, I’ve tried pretty much everything I could think of. Posted on LinkedIn. Posted on Instagram. Posted on TikTok.

Result? Lots of impressions. Almost no users.

Tried Reddit. Banned.

Tried Hacker News. Flagged.

At some point it starts feeling less like marketing and more like getting rejected by the entire internet 💀. The frustrating part is that I genuinely believe the product solves a real problem. It basically checks suspicious websites, emails, phone numbers, and crypto wallets and helps identify potential scam or risk signals before people trust them. The idea came from seeing how difficult it has become to tell what's legitimate online anymore.

A website can look professional.

An email can look convincing.

A wallet can seem completely normal.

And people have no easy way to check. So that's what I've been working on. Ironically, creating it felt easier than getting people to notice it 😭. For now, I've honestly stopped marketing for a bit. Not because I want to quit, Just because constantly posting, launching, getting ignored, getting flagged, getting banned, and repeating the cycle is mentally exhausting.

If you've been through this stage before, I'd genuinely love to hear how you got past it. And would love to hear some genuine advices from you guys!

Hey,

I’m starting a new SaaS project with two developers, and I wanted to share it here early instead of waiting until everything looks polished.

We’re building an AI lead research assistant for small B2B teams, agencies, consultants, and founders.

The product is not finished yet.

Right now, we are in the early validation/build phase. The plan is to build in public and share:

what we’re building each week

what we’re learning from potential users

what assumptions turn out to be wrong

how we think about pricing

what actually helps people enough to pay monthly

mistakes and pivots along the way

The first version will likely include:

ideal customer profile setup

company discovery

fit scoring

reasoning for why a company matches

lead prioritization

eventually some kind of workflow for reviewing and improving lead quality

We’re thinking about starting with simple free monthly beta plans instead of one-time payments, something like:

Starter Beta for solo founders / consultants

Growth Beta for small B2B teams

Agency Beta for agencies managing multiple client profiles

The goal is not to pretend this is a finished SaaS.

The goal is to find out whether small B2B teams would actually pay monthly for better lead research and prioritization before we overbuild.

I’d love honest feedback from other SaaS builders:

Does this positioning make sense, or is it still too generic?

Would you focus on one niche first, like agencies or SaaS founders?

Would you show pricing before the product is live?

What would you need to see before joining a beta for a product like this?

Any obvious traps in this market we should avoid?

I’ll keep sharing updates as we build.

No polished launch post yet — just the beginning.
