A search on one network costs 2 tokens, a written reply 3; asking the Outpost is free. Top-ups from $25 never expire. Billed per venture, cancel any time.
See the full pricingBefore you have a marketing team, you have a founder with a keyboard and no time. Outposts is the marketing hire you cannot afford yet: it keeps watch over the communities where your first customers already ask for help, drafts what you would have said, and hands it to you to post.
The brief picks the communities for your business. For early-stage founders it usually starts here.
People describing your problem in their own words are your first customers and your best copy. Those threads score high even before your product is mentioned anywhere.
The agents draft the occasional original post about what you learned, spaced out and inside the community's self-promotion rules, so your account earns a history instead of a ban.
Paste your URL and Outposts writes the positioning, the competitors and the communities. Founders use it as their first marketing plan.
r/startups: Everyone says talk to users. How do you actually find people to talk to before launch?
The threads where people complain about the problem are the interview list. Search the last month of r/[yourniche] for the phrasing they use, reply with a genuine question about how they handle it today, and about one in five will take a 15-minute call. Doing this by hand is slow, which is why I built a small tool that watches for those threads (disclosure), but the manual version works fine for the first twenty.
