The founder of a YC-backed coaching company knew Reddit was driving real leads. Every time she posted a thoughtful comment on a relevant thread, inbound interest would spike within days.
But as the company grew, she simply ran out of time. Finding the right posts every day, crafting authentic comments by hand, keeping the voice consistent — it was a full-time job on top of running the business.
People on Reddit were literally asking for a service like hers, and she was leaving those leads on the table. The channel that worked best was the one she couldn't scale.
Sound familiar? Let's check your Reddit opportunity
The founder had developed a commenting style that Reddit loved — soft relating, sharing personal stories, offering multiple points of genuine advice with her service as just one option.
Crucially, she always disclosed she was part of the team. This transparency meant her comments rarely got removed, and the community trusted her. Every comment correlated with a direct spike in inbound leads.
Learned the founder's authentic voice — soft relating, personal stories, multi-point advice, and transparent disclosure.
AI-powered prioritization surfaced the highest-intent posts — people literally asking for coaching help.
15 comments in 15 minutes — each in the founder's authentic voice. Quality and speed, no longer a trade-off.
New team members joined with their own personas. Collaborative commenting across the team multiplied output.
