How to find leads in r/Entrepreneur without getting banned
r/Entrepreneur is huge and noisy, but it carries a steady stream of real buying-intent questions. Inbown filters the noise, scores intent 0–100, and drafts a reply you post yourself.
About r/Entrepreneur
r/Entrepreneur is one of the biggest business communities on Reddit, which is both its strength and its problem. The volume means a constant flow of people asking how to find customers, which tool to use, and how to fix a specific growth problem. It also means a lot of motivational posts, low-effort questions, and self-promo that mods remove quickly. For a founder selling a real product, the signal is in there, but reading the whole feed by hand is a waste of a day.
Because the sub is broad, intent scoring matters more here than almost anywhere. A keyword alert on 'lead generation' or 'marketing tool' will bury you in tangential matches. The threads worth your time are the ones where someone is specifically describing the problem your product solves and asking for a fix. Inbown scores each thread on exactly that, so you skip the noise and land on the handful where a thoughtful answer can become a customer.
What buying intent looks like in r/Entrepreneur
- Specific tool or service requests inside a real problem description
- 'How do I find my first customers for [specific business]' threads
- Frustration with a current tool that opens the door to a switch
- Niche questions where your product is an unusually good fit

Who finds customers here
Founders across most verticals find buyers here, but the win rate depends on filtering hard, since the sub is broad and the noise is heavy.

r/Entrepreneur moderators are aggressive about self-promotion, and links in comments are a common removal trigger. Inbown never posts for you and checks self-promo signals on each draft, so you answer the person's question first and decide yourself what to mention.
r/Entrepreneur questions
Is r/Entrepreneur too noisy to find real leads?
On its own, often yes. The volume of low-intent posts is high. That is precisely why intent scoring helps: Inbown ranks threads by how likely the poster is to buy, so you read the few that matter instead of scrolling the whole feed.
Will I get banned for replying with my product?
You can get removed for pitch-first or link-heavy comments. Inbown drafts a help-first reply and runs a self-promo check before you post, and since it never posts on your behalf, you stay in control of what goes out.
What does it cost to monitor r/Entrepreneur?
Starter is $19/month for Reddit. There is a free preview that runs once against your URL with no signup so you can see the quality of the threads first.
The honest verdict
r/Entrepreneur has real buyers buried under real noise. The whole game is filtering, and that is where Inbown earns its place: it scores intent so you only see the threads worth a reply, then drafts that reply help-first so the mods leave it up.
