Find startup opportunities from Reddit, communities, and the public web.
FounderSignals helps SaaS founders uncover customer pain points, buying intent, competitor moves, and emerging trends before they become obvious.
Features
What you can track with FounderSignals.
Use one founder intelligence workflow for startup validation, customer research, competitor monitoring, and SaaS trend discovery.
How it works
Scattered sources in. Structured signals out.
FounderSignals ingests public conversations from across the web and turns them into a single radar of pain points, buying intent, competitor moves, and trends.
Benefits
Research faster. Validate earlier. Waste fewer cycles.
FounderSignals is built for founders who need clearer market signals, not more dashboards, more tabs, or more vague trend reports.
Pricing
Simple pricing for founder workflows.
Start free, then choose the paid plan that fits your workflow. The current release already supports the core radar, watchlists, saved signals, and signal history limits.
Starter expands watchlists, history, and buying-intent access for solo founders. Pro raises those limits further for founder teams running a deeper research loop.
Current release note: billing, checkout, plan enforcement, and the core workflow are live now. Digest emails are live, and Pro now supports up to 5 workspaces, while exports and real-time alerts are still queued behind the current release.
Social proof
Add proof where skeptical founders look for it.
These placeholders are ready for customer quotes, credibility markers, founder logos, or launch badges as soon as you have them.
Public radar
Preview the startup conversations already being tracked.
Browse example public radar pages to see how FounderSignals turns live discussions into clearer startup validation and founder research.
AI tools
AI tooling is maturing from novelty to workflow infrastructure. The strongest opportunities sit around trust, review layers, data quality, and operational control.
Invoicing software
Invoicing looks mature until you watch edge cases: global tax handling, subscription complexity, client portals, reporting confidence, and founder-friendly pricing.
Productivity apps
Productivity categories are crowded, but founders still complain about coordination drag, context switching, and brittle automation between tools.
Developer tools
Developer tooling keeps expanding, but the real opportunities often show up in workflow reliability, governance, context sharing, and collaboration around AI-assisted coding.

You can track customer pain points, buying intent, competitor monitoring, trend discovery, and broader community signal analysis across the sources you care about.
Who is FounderSignals for?
