A CRM for SaaS founders before the sales team
Your SaaS solves a problem people describe in public every day: on Reddit, in X replies, under a launch. The first customers are usually in those threads. Founder CRM helps you find them, keep them, and follow up, before you have a sales team or a reason to set up HubSpot.
Start from the problem, not the product
Early SaaS customers rarely search for your product name. They post about the job: "anyone know a tool for...", "we are drowning in...", "switched from X, missing Y". Those are the people worth a reply.
The buyer-phrase keywords list has examples of how that sounds, grouped by niche. Use them as search terms, or as the description in a flow.
Find them, then keep them
Describe who you want in plain words. A flow opens Reddit or X in the Chrome session you are already signed into and keeps the people who fit. See Founder CRM on Reddit and Founder CRM on X for exactly what runs on each site.
Each person gets the link back to their post, your notes, and a next action. When you reply, you do it yourself on the site. When the follow-up is due, it comes back in the side panel. The first customers from Reddit guide walks through the reply side.
The channel pages go into each site: Reddit CRM and Twitter (X) CRM.
Before the sales team
HubSpot and Salesforce are good at pipelines. At ten conversations a month you do not have a pipeline yet. You have threads. The guide on skipping HubSpot at the early stage covers when to switch.
Founder CRM does not sync into a sales CRM. When you outgrow it, export CSV or JSON and import the people wherever your team works.
If you are comparing tools
Most tools in this space either monitor keywords or send messages for you. Founder CRM does neither: it finds people in your own browser and leaves the writing to you. The comparison pages are honest about where the others are stronger.
It is free, with no account. Details on pricing. Add Founder CRM to Chrome from the Chrome Web Store.
Not quite you?
A short list of people you met in public and a date to look again. Not a pipeline.
One person, a handful of outreach hours a week, and no one else to remember for you.
No seat, no subscription, no account. The list stays on your machine.
Keep the people from launch day, and follow up after the leaderboard resets.
Questions founders ask
- Is this a replacement for HubSpot?
- Not for a sales team. It is the CRM for the stage before that, when the founder is doing the outreach.
- Does it monitor Reddit for my keywords?
- No. It does not run a hosted listener or send alerts. A flow looks when you run it or when you schedule it, in your own Chrome.
- Can it write replies about my product?
- No. It finds and files people. You write every reply and message.
- Can I move the list to another CRM later?
- Yes. Export CSV or JSON from People or Flows.
