Using r/EntrepreneurRideAlong for lead generation

A niche sub with high engagement per thread. Founders narrate their bottlenecks publicly, so growth, marketing, and outreach tools have a natural entry point when a thread reaches the 'I need customers' stage.

Buying signals to watch for
  • Build-in-public updates naming a growth blocker
  • "How do I get traffic/customers" milestone posts
  • Tool-stack questions inside ride-along threads
  • Marketing-help requests from non-marketers
