About Us
Our Mission
Welcome to Thread Finder. Our mission is to solve the biggest problem facing local small businesses: the slow response time to new customer leads. The average response time in some industries is a staggering 42 hours, leaving high-intent customers waiting and valuable jobs lost.
We built Thread Finder to fix this. By monitoring local online communities on Reddit, our system uses AI to identify, qualify, and deliver high-intent leads to you in under 60 minutes.
This 60-minute advantage is a game-changer, allowing you to be the first to respond, build trust, and win the job before your competition even knows the lead exists.
How It Works
-
Scan: We continuously monitor local subreddits for your keywords indicating purchase intent.
-
Qualify: Our AI (Gemini Pro) instantly analyzes each post, filtering out spam and verifying intent, urgency, and location.
-
Deliver: You receive an instant email notification with the qualified lead's details.
-
Win: You respond first and win more business.
