Gojiberry AI is a SaaS product whose founder found its first customers on Reddit. He posted first-person stories about his startup with screenshots as proof, never pitching the product, and linked it only from his profile. Warmed-up accounts and early upvotes from a group of marketers helped the posts climb.

Gojiberry AI's founder reported his Reddit story posts drew over 11M impressions, 40K visitors and about 100 first customers, though other efforts ran at the same time.gojiberry AI

gojiberry AI's 4 tactics

gojiberry AI · B2B · LinkedIn lead finder and outreach tool

Turn things that happen to your startup into Reddit stories with proof, never pitching

11M impressions, 40K visitors, ~100 first customers; single posts brought 10-15 clients

Posts are first-person stories from daily life as a SaaS marketer, with screenshots as proof, e.g. 'I paid 5 influencers on LinkedIn to promote my SaaS, here's what $1,250 got me' and a post about being rejected at the Y Combinator interview. Never put the SaaS directly in the post; trigger curiosity by highlighting it and let readers find it (SaaS linked in the profile bio). Change the angle every post; can redirect to a YouTube video or X post. Drafting: tells the story to ChatGPT by voice, then has it translate and correct it (non-native English), which captures more detail. Pre-launch founders can post about the problem they're solving and how it's going.

Warm up each Reddit account for 7-14 days with comments before posting

Founder says it keeps accounts safe; no ban numbers

Run one Reddit account per browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari). Never create a new Reddit account with a brand-new email (that combo gets banned right away). Add a profile picture, link the SaaS in the bio, and turn on the setting that hides your post history so visitors don't see you always talking about one product. For the first 7-14 days only comment and upvote to build karma; then start posting, then marketing. Skip subreddits that forbid promotion (e.g. r/ycombinator).

Get 10 upvotes in a post's first 10 minutes from a group, then reply to every comment

Founder says posts climb higher; credited for viral posts, no split-out numbers

Belongs to a group of ~15 marketers (and a group of friends) who share their Reddit posts; each shared post gets upvoted and commented on right away, aiming for 10+ upvotes in the first 5-10 minutes so outside users follow. Then reply to absolutely every comment to show engagement, which earns more upvotes and ranking. Against haters: show proof (e.g. your MRR) and block insulting commenters.
