  You should still wait for having something good enough before presenting it, or people will have bad first experience. Don't do this. As soon as your product does enough to solve the customer's pain start selling it[1]. If people have a bad experience then talk to them and use that experience to improve the product. If you make changes in isolation without talking to people you may well be making the wrong changes - you don't know what the right changes are without feedback. If your customers don't have a bad experience, because either you were lucky and built it right to begin with, or because the product is horrible but is less horrible than the problem it solves then you can have paying customers, traction, investors, money, fame, etc! Most of all, you won't run out of money and fail. Sell as soon as you can. That's usually earlier than you think, and a lot earlier than the time the product is 'ready'. [1] Unless you're in the sort of market where there's only one customer (eg defence contracting). But if you are then you'll probably have started the sales process before you've even started building the product, because if that one customer doesn't want it there's no point building it.
