The problem you have right now

You're a founder of a 1–10 person B2B SaaS company. Your first sales hire will cost you $80k–$120k/year plus ramp time. And even then, most early-stage sales teams need 6+ months to build a repeatable pipeline. Meanwhile, you're the one doing demos, prospecting, closing — and still finding time to ship product. The cost of a sales hire isn't just salary; it's the months of slowed growth while that person learns your ICP.

The bigger problem is signal-to-noise. Your ICP is talking about their pain points every day on LinkedIn, Reddit, HN, and X. But you can't monitor 10+ platforms manually. So you miss the buyers who are explicitly asking for a solution like yours — because their signal gets buried in the noise. PQ Intel filters that noise, surfaces the signal, and puts pipeline into your calendar without the overhead of a sales team.

FAQ

How is PQ different from an SDR or sales agency?
An SDR costs $50k–$80k/year before ramp and management overhead. A sales agency charges $3k–$10k/month with long setup times. PQ gives you the same signal-gathering capability for $30–$249/month — and you stay in control of the conversation. No ramp, no retainer, no handoffs.
What platforms does PQ monitor?
LinkedIn, Reddit, Hacker News, X (Twitter), Product Hunt, Medium, Substack, GitHub, Dev.to, and more added regularly. You pick which platforms matter for your ICP — PQ monitors them all simultaneously.
I'm a solo founder. Do I really need the Pro plan?
If you're serious about pipeline, yes. Pro gives you unlimited leads — meaning you never cap your growth. Many solo founders start on Pro ($249/mo) because the ROI from a single closed deal covers years of subscription. Growth ($99/mo) is a good starting point if you want to test the waters.
How long until I see my first lead?
Most founders see their first high-intent signal within 24–48 hours of setting up their ICP profile. The platform scans continuously, so leads come in daily. First qualified pipeline conversation typically within the first week.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Monthly billing, cancel anytime with one click. No contracts, no setup fees, no cancellation penalties. Starter plan is $29/mo if you want to try before committing to Pro.
