Executive Summary

Sales and growth teams routinely miss high-intent opportunities on Reddit because signals are noisy and outreach comes too late — by the time a salesperson sees a thread the attention window has often closed. Small and mid-market teams currently lack tooling that reliably detects short-text buyer intent in forum threads and routes fast, prioritized outreach. Build a real-time SaaS that monitors Reddit, applies modern short-text intent models to surface and score high-intent threads, and pushes prioritized alerts plus one-click outreach templates into CRMs and messaging channels. Core features would include low-latency alerts with SLA targets, API rate-limit handling, auto-suggested replies, A/B testing, and conversion attribution dashboards. The market is attractive now: roughly 4.0M marketing and sales teams spending ~$2,400 ACV on social-listening/lead-gen tools implies a $9.6B category, so capturing 1% of that is ~ $96M ARR. The trend toward performance-first tooling and the shrinking attention window make measurable, time-sensitive signals more valuable and increase willingness to pay. You could stand out by combining true real-time detection, state-of-the-art intent classification, and end-to-end attribution instead of raw mention volume—current competition is medium and focused on noisy listening. Expect technical and go-to-market challenges (Reddit API limits, community compliance, proving incremental conversion lift), but these are addressable through engineering workarounds, partnership pilot programs, and early ROI-focused customers.
