Ask HN: How do you find early adopters?
For all of you working on B2B startups, how did you start to get your early adopters?
I've been doing customer development but so far, no one seems to bite yet.
- sharemywin 11y agoIs that a pain point for the people you've contacted? if not, what is? Also, check out slide 22 on this slideshare. http://www.slideshare.net/greylockpartners/unit-of-value-a-framework-for-scaling/22-Rules_of_thumb_to_reach http://www.slideshare.net/greylockpartners/unit-of-value-a-f... make sure your product doesn't fall into the dead zone. because you'll spend a lot of time and money on a product that will cost way to much to market for a decent return.
- tixocloud 11y agoThanks. Had a few people tell me their pain points but at the point of trying to validate our solution. Was thinking about taking our solution back to those we've contacted.
- jflag 11y agoWhat's your industry? I just setup an AdWords account and created a few search ads for my project (https://blastoff.chat https://blastoff.chat) but other than that, I'm also looking for suggestions. Maybe we could set up a Slack where share tactics? Or does something like this already exist?
- tixocloud 11y agoThat sounds like a good idea and I'm onboard. How as the AdWords approach been going? Have you had any interest yet? I've stayed away from AdWords so far because we've got some serious competitors with tons of cash so I'm not sure we're going to win on keywords.
