Strategy, not automation.

Founder & CEO, FindEvo -

[akin.korpe @akinkep]

findevo is live on microlaunch today.

3 months of mvp, most of the last month was fixing
what users found.

it finds reddit threads where people describe your
product without knowing it exists, scores intent,
and tells you if replying will get you removed.
it never writes the message for you.

28,000 posts scored so far. link below.

@SaidAitmbarek Speeding up the distribution process could really work. I'd love to save time on marketing.

FindEvo is live on Product Hunt 🎉

Reddit is full of people asking for what you built. 89% of startups who market there get banned inside 30 days, almost always for the reply.

We score the thread, read the sub's rules, check your draft.
We never write it for you.

Tomorrow I'm launching FindEvo on Product Hunt.

It started with a number I couldn't get past: in a study of 340 startups
marketing on Reddit, 89% were banned inside 30 days.

Almost never for finding the thread. For the reply.

So I built the opposite of an AI reply generator.
FindEvo finds the thread, reads the subreddit's rules, tells you if a link
is allowed there today, and checks your draft before you post it.

You write every word. That is the point.

Live tomorrow, 12:01am PT.

Before our upcoming Product Hunt launch, we made sure FindEvo's engine room is completely spotless. We left nothing to chance on the SEO side:

✅ Robots.txt and Sitemap fully synchronized in code.
✅ Canonical tags implemented flawlessly on every public page.
✅ JSON-LD (Organization, SoftwareApplication, Article, FAQ) schema structures in place.
✅ 12 subreddits and 6 comparison pages prerendered via SSG (Static Site Generation).
✅ AI crawlers consciously given open access.

Heading into launch day with zero technical vulnerabilities and 100% readiness! 🔥

Getting here wasn't easy at all. Doing marketing while working a 9-to-5 job is an exhausting process. We learned the hard way that building a project isn't just about writing code or designing interfaces. Our first version was incomplete, slow, and frankly quite ugly, but we grew alongside our users.

[akin.korpe @akinkep]

They say seeing is believing, but in software, it's often the opposite: The data you think you see is just a narrow window shown by your system.

We were shocked to see that massive subreddits like r/Entrepreneur and r/indiehackers only had 50-80 posts in our database. The subreddits have massive real traffic, but our database was bone dry. The problem wasn't the traffic; it was how we were crawling them. When visible volume doesn't match real data, don't be afraid to look under the hood. 📉📈

[akin.korpe @akinkep]

The biggest barrier to marketing on Reddit is the fear of getting banned. Founders want to share their product, but moderators or AutoMods take them down instantly.

The pain point we focused on while building FindEvo was exactly this. We saw that dropping direct links doesn't work and ruins community dynamics. The right workflow is: first understand the problem, offer methods to communicate safely without getting banned, and then build an organic connection. A founder's real pain isn't spamming; it's making their voice heard safely.

[akin.korpe @akinkep]

When building FindEvo's AI scoring system, we realized a critical logic bug a bit too late.

Someone posting "Not sure why I am shadowbanned. How can I fix this?" matched our keywords 100%, and our model gave it a score of 100. But there was a catch: That person was *already* banned and looking for a cure. Our product is built for founders trying to *avoid* getting banned (prevention).

We added a "prevention vs. cure" distinction to our prompts:
❌ "Am I shadowbanned?" -> Score: 0
✅ "How do founders promote without getting banned?" -> Score: 100

AI now understands intent, not just keywords.

[akin.korpe @akinkep]

Data doesn't always confirm what we intuitively feel. In the FindEvo pipeline, we scored 26,193 posts over 30 days and found 1,105 of them to be high-intent.

Looking at hourly breakdowns:
📍 Best hour: 15:00 EST / 22:00 TSI (6.0%)
📍 Worst hour: 19:00 EST / 02:00 TSI (1.8%)

It sounds like a 3x difference, but looking at confidence intervals, the 22 hours in between overlap completely. Day vs. night breakdown is 4.65% vs. 3.88% — practically zero difference. Don't sell noise as fact; look at the data.

[akin.korpe @akinkep]

What is the "best time" to post on Reddit? 🕒 We analyzed 26,000+ scored posts over the last 30 days at FindEvo, and the answer is clear: There is no such time. Yes, total post volume peaks during US morning hours (09:00-10:00 EST / 16:00-17:00 TSI). However, the ratio of high-intent potential buyers remains remarkably steady at around 4-6% throughout all 24 hours of the day. Even at 02:00 EST! People don't check the clock when they have a problem or are looking for a solution. Stop scheduling your posts by the clock and focus on the right intent instead. 🎯

[akin.korpe @akinkep]

"I finished the product, but no one is buying."
we hear this exact sentence from at least 20 different founders every week.
the issue isn't your product; it's trying to introduce it to the wrong people at the wrong time.
timing the need is everything.

[akin.korpe @akinkep]

spamming your way to customers is over.
no one clicks on a "hey check out my product" DM from a stranger anymore.
the only way to grow organically: provide value to people venting in communities without sounding salesy.

[Abdulkadir Aydemir @kadir_aydemirr]

One of my users was watching r/freelance and seeing an empty feed.

Not a bug. That subreddit produces 0.8 posts per day.

r/smallbusiness produces 248.

Picking subreddits by topic alone is how you end up monitoring a room nobody talks in. The feed now tells you which of your subreddits produce nothing.

[Abdulkadir Aydemir @kadir_aydemirr]

18 commits. +4,766 / -1,574 lines. 472 tests passing.

What shipped:

scoring rewritten from one number to four axes

background crawl, every 2 hours, no more waiting on a manual scan

feed warns you which subreddits produce nothing

ban-risk finally reaches the score

Four bugs found this week. All four by measuring, none by reading code.

Two of them were my own labels being wrong and the model being right.

[akin.korpe @akinkep]

if you're trying to do marketing while working a 9-5, you have to automate the process.
we didn't have time to scroll through Reddit or X for hours during the day.
so we built a radar to alert us

only

about high-intent posts.
we spent the rest of our time engaging in actual conversations.

[akin.korpe @akinkep]

I look through the "how to get my first 10 customers" threads on Reddit.
everyone is just shilling their own tool. Nobody even asks what the founder is going through.
the day we stopped trying to sell was the day we started gaining users.
you don't sell people your product—you sell them the logic behind solving their pain.
