I spent 1.5 years doing manual customer searches. Then I built EarlyCustomers

Hey everyone, I'm Aryan Chittora1.5 years, That's how long I've been manually searching for customers.Reddit threads, LinkedIn posts, Twitter conversations. Spending 15-20 hours every week just trying to find people who have the problem I'm solving.For 1.5 years.Some weeks I'd find 2-3 customers. Some weeks, nothing.I kept thinking: "Maybe I'm searching wrong. Maybe my ICP is off. Maybe the problem isn't real."Then one day it clicked: The problem is real. I'm just searching like a caveman.Here's what changed:I realized my customers weren't hidden. They were everywhere:On r/startups complaining they can't find early customersOn LinkedIn frustrated with lead qualityOn Twitter asking "where do I even start with customer acquisition?"They were literally raising their hands.I just couldn't process 3 billion Reddit posts, Check keywords on X and find buying intent on Linkedinfast enough to find them.So I built EarlyCustomers to do what took me 15 hours manually in 5 minutes automatically.Real conversations. Real intent. Real customers.The response has been insane:Around 150 Signups in 10 days5 Paying customersBut here's the thing that matters: every single founder says the same thing"I didn't know this problem had a solution."Because it didn't. Until now.Why I'm telling SaaSHive:You get it. You're not building hype. You're solving problems you've lived.I lived in customer discovery hell for 1.5 years. That's why this tool exists.And I'm here because I want to learn from founders like you.Real question: What's your biggest bottleneck with finding early customers? What am I missing?Would love your feedback.
