In-market buyer intelligence


noise.

In-market buyers, pulled from real Reddit threads this month. Start with a scan of your category, or a cut scoped to your exact product. Every lead is a verbatim quote, a live link, an intent score, and a thread you can reply to today.

Methodology

A small pipeline run by one researcher, for every cut.

For each cut, an indexed corpus of recent threads is pulled across the subreddits where the buyers in your category discuss buying, building, and abandoning their tools. Threads are de-duplicated, run through a six-axis intent classifier, and read by a human before any quote leaves the pipeline.

The classifier scores six axes (urgency, budget signal, vendor specificity, recency, role fit, and tool-stack disclosure) on a 0–100 scale. A thread enters the report only above 65. Every quote links to its source; nothing is paraphrased.

Corpus, latest sample

20 buyers · 6 markets · 12 subreddits · last three weeks of May 2026.

Score threshold

Threads enter only at intent ≥ 65. Median accepted: 78. Rejection rate: 71%.

Human in the loop

Every published quote is read end-to-end. Nothing paraphrased; nothing fabricated. URL-attested.

The feed, in motion

This is what a buyer looks like before they search for you.

Every line is a real Reddit thread from the last few weeks. The classifier scores intent on six axes as each scrolls past, and flags the few who are shopping right now. You get those few, in their own words, with the link.

“The honest version of buyer intent is not a heat-map. It’s a paragraph someone wrote at 2 a.m. because their pipeline was broken and they couldn’t sleep.”

Why one reader beats ten dashboards.

Winnow · Est. 2026

Fair question: if Winnow is one person, how is it faster, and more accurate, than the listening tool you’re already paying for? Here’s the honest answer.

No telephone game

A GummySearch or a scraper hands you keyword hits. I hand you the three buyers worth emailing this week, read end to end, in their own words. The difference between “mentions of CRM” and “this founder is shopping right now” is a human, and that human is me.

Faster, because there’s no machine

No sales call, no scoping deck, no team handoff, no roadmap ticket. You order; I read; you get a PDF in 72 hours. A subscription tool makes you do the reading. I am the reading.

Accurate, because someone clicked through

Every quote links to its live thread. Zero AI-hallucinated citations, zero stale rows from a list that rotted last Tuesday. If it’s in the report, I opened the thread and read the whole thing. A $1k/mo dashboard can’t promise that. It doesn’t even try.

I built Winnow because I ran outbound for a small dev-tools company and lost, drowning in tools that counted everything and understood nothing. The people actually describing their pain, in their own words and their own typos, were on Reddit the whole time. Nobody was reading them seriously. Now someone is.

You’re not buying a dashboard. You’re hiring the one reader who already did the work.

  1. Quotes in the live table and sample pages are real, pulled from public Reddit posts and confirmed against their live URLs on the date shown. No usernames are published on this page.
  2. The latest sample reflects threads from the last three weeks of May 2026; intent decays, so every cut is sourced fresh.
  3. Intent rubric and rejection criteria documented in the methodology section of every cut. Methodology last revised April 2026.
  4. Pricing accurate as of May 2026.
