@hwei_oh we mainly used direct email, and linkedin to approach the right founders for our app. We almost had 1k in the waitlist, however only 200-300 joined right away.

@tasos_valtinos How many people were on your waitlist when you launched?

@tasos_valtinos - thanks for sharing, but curious to know if you had to go out to multiple sources to create your waitlist?

- We had 15 users in our first 30 days
- Most of them were friends and family
- All of them provided direct feedback

15 months later our product has been used over 200,000 times in 150+ countries by 4,500+ companies. The feedback of these first 15 users was valuable, even though you have to balance it somewhat. My friends and family do not hold back :) now, we regularly ask for feedback and this stil determines our product roadmap.

@brandongaille Awesome question, 3x the number that joined us in the first week. Then I found a research saying, always expect 15-20% from your waitlist to actually use your product.

Our Product Fexspace. So we have been working on something new in the crowded collaboration market. We have created a service to allow people to easily collaborate with their network. More like a social media but for collaboration
https://app.fexspace.com/explore

Share your upcoming events physical or online (Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Team etc) on Fexspace and have people save the date, like, comment and share your event... Let people know what you are working on by sharing your project. Have a file you want your network to have? Share it. We have simplified collaboration for everyone. https://app.fexspace.com/explore

We launched in October 2020. https://fexspace.com

We already had 125 paying customers by our launch date. Thanks to an organization (with 95 users) we had convinced to pre-order for our service during the peak of COVID-19 lockdown. The pre-order also help us speed up development and full product launch.

At the moment we have 600 users, 224 paying users.

The lesson: getting as many early users feedback at pre-launch can help a great deal in modifying your product idea to fit into solving real life challenges better than you have in your vision as the founder or co-founder.
