Pinged helps sales teams and founders find people already looking for what they sell. Discover high-intent buyers from real conversations across Reddit, X, and the public web, or upload your existing lead list and rank prospects by buying intent. Instead of guessing who to contact, Pinged helps you focus on the people most likely to respond.
This is a really cool idea! When I tried it out, though, the pain signals linked to Reddit threads of people who were sick and tired of technology. I mean, it is definitely finding pain signals, just a bit too broad 😅
In my case, I'm pretty sure it was just because my query was way too broad. Is there a plan to make a feature that "grades" queries to help users only run queries with high specificity? I think that could improve customer satisfaction as well as prevent running unnecessary queries.
@jboktor That's great feedback, and honestly that's exactly the kind of edge case we're seeing as well 😅
In your example, Pinged correctly identified pain, but not necessarily buying intent. Someone being frustrated with technology doesn't automatically make them a prospect.
Right now, query quality plays a huge role in the results. Broad prompts tend to pull in broader conversations, while more specific ICPs produce much better matches.
A query grading or quality scoring system is definitely something we're considering. It could help users understand whether their prompt is too broad before running a search and guide them toward more specific descriptions.
It would improve both result quality and reduce unnecessary searches, so it's a win on both sides. Really appreciate you calling this out!

Finding high intent from real threads is the dream compared to cold lists. How do you avoid pulling in people who are just complaining or researching casually to give space for people actually ready to buy?
@othman_katim Great question, Othman.
We don't treat every mention of a problem as buying intent. Pinged looks for signals that suggest someone is actively trying to solve the problem, not just discussing it.
For example, posts asking for recommendations, comparing tools, looking for alternatives, evaluating solutions, or describing an ongoing workflow issue tend to rank much higher than general complaints or educational discussions.
We also surface intent levels so users can prioritize profiles that show stronger buying signals first. It's definitely not perfect, but our goal is to help founders spend less time digging through noise and more time talking to people who are actively exploring solutions.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I'm Aravind, one of the makers of Pinged.
Like many founders, my co-founder and I spent a lot of time trying to find people who might actually be interested in what we were building.
Not sending messages.
Not writing outreach.
Just finding the right people.
We would spend hours searching LinkedIn, opening profiles one by one, checking whether someone matched our ideal customer profile, and then repeating the process again the next day.
It worked, but it was slow.
So we built Pinged for ourselves first.
With Pinged, you describe your ideal customer in plain English, and the platform helps surface relevant LinkedIn prospects without manually digging through endless search results.
A few examples:
🔍 "Early-stage SaaS founders with small teams looking for customers"
🔍 "Owners of small e-commerce brands handling growth themselves"
🔍 "Founders building AI tools for businesses"
Our goal isn't to become another CRM or outreach platform.
We simply want to help founders spend less time searching and more time talking to potential customers.
We launched a paid waitlist first to validate demand and were fortunate to get our first paying users before completing the MVP. Today, the product is fully functional and we're excited to finally share it with the wider community.
We'd genuinely love your feedback, questions, and criticism.
Thanks for checking out Pinged ❤️

Hey Giridhat! IT's super cool. Finding early adopters is really hard now that anyone can build anything. Distribution became key and you're helping a lot on it. Wish you all the best!
@german_merlo1 Thanks German!
