Connecting Redditors who are asking for help with people who can give it.

Prospect Radar watches a small, fixed set of public subreddits for posts where someone is explicitly seeking a business connection — an indie developer looking for a publisher, a founder listing an app or SaaS for sale, a team asking for marketing help — and surfaces that request to a human who can respond directly in the thread. It never posts, comments, or DMs on its own.

What it does

Poll public posts (OAuth API) → Classify: is the author seeking a service/partner/buyer? → Queue matches for a person → Human replies in-thread

How it respects Reddit & its users

✓Read-only. No automated posting, commenting, voting, or DMs. A person decides whether and how to reply.
✓Official API + OAuth only. No scraping, no logged-out access. Polls well under the 100 QPM limit.
✓Minimal data. Stores only a post URL, timestamp, and a relevance label — never bulk content archives.
✓No resale, no model training. Data is never sold, licensed, redistributed, or used to train ML/AI models.
✓Deletion honored. Removal requests are processed promptly; only public, on-topic posts are considered.
✓Narrow scope. A fixed, declared list of subreddits where such requests are welcome and on-topic.

Who it helps

People seeking a publisher / buyer / partner

Their time-sensitive “I’m looking for X” post is seen quickly by someone who can actually act on it — shortening the wait for a useful reply.

Service providers & buyers

A focused, opt-in way to find genuine, current requests instead of cold-blasting unrelated users.

Scope is intentionally small and declared up front; we only monitor subreddits where service/sale requests are on-topic and permitted by the community’s rules.
