Everyone says 'talk to users' — nobody says where they are
Your first customers won't find you through Google (no domain authority), won't come from ads (no budget or data), and won't show up from a launch spike alone (48 hours, then silence). First customers come from being where your buyers already gather — and most founders don't know where that is.

Go where buyers already browse
Foundrs' buyer communities are organized by the problems people want solved — AI tools, video, productivity, creator economy. List your product and it's routed into the feeds of buyers actively looking for exactly what you built.
Buyers by intent, not demographic
Community members follow problems they have — your product reaches people who already want it.
Warm channel, not cold
Feed placement converts better than cold outreach because the buyer came looking.
Feedback included
Comments and votes from real buyers — your first customers also tell you what to build next.
