how long inbound channels work for you
The lead gen playbook assumes a sales org
Most B2B lead generation advice is written for companies with SDR teams, marketing ops, and ad budgets — cold outbound sequences, ABM platforms, paid LinkedIn. A bootstrapped B2B product has none of that: the founder is the sales team, and the budget for 'demand generation' is evenings.
Inbound that compounds instead of outbound that resets
The bootstrapped version of B2B lead gen is building the surfaces buyers find when they look: ranked listings in the directories they search, content that answers the questions they ask, presence in the communities they trust, and visibility in the AI answers they increasingly consult first.
Rank where buyers search
Directory listings and category pages — the places B2B buyers actually browse for tools.
Content that sells while you sleep
Problem-driven posts that rank for the searches your buyers make — expertise as the ad.
Community authority
The Slack groups, subreddits, and forums where your buyers ask 'what do you use for X.'
Machine-readable presence
Structured listings and docs so the AI assistants buyers consult can actually recommend you.

FAQ
Can B2B lead gen work with zero budget?
Yes — the compounding channels cost almost nothing: a free directory listing, founder content, community presence. They take months to peak but nearly nothing to run.
Do I really not need outbound?
Founder-led outreach works early — it's the scaled SDR motion you can't afford. Inbound builds the always-on layer; outreach fills the gaps.
Where do B2B buyers find tools without G2?
Directories with real engagement, niche communities, AI answers, and search — the surfaces where OnlyFoundrs listings rank and get found.
How long until inbound produces leads?
Expect the compounding lag — months, not weeks. The payoff is leads that keep coming without daily effort.
