If you won't mind a bit of unsolicited advice since you seem like a person who cares and might value it.
As someone who's interested in quantified self, etc. -- this kind of landing page is exactly what makes me think "bullshit" (and yes, in particular for Soundmind, I've clicked on it few months ago and left quickly). This is a kind of thing I hate about QS startups, I'll elaborate:
Literally the first thing it does is asking me for my email (seriously, who subscribes the first moment they get on the website?). Shiny, takes ages to scroll with useless background images and little actual information. I'd much more trust a simple single-page site which gets straight to the point -- maybe then you can convince me to subscribe.
- FounderBurr 6y agoThe point with these sites is to obscure the point.
- pedalpete 6y agoI'm actually surprised as well at how many people sign up, but we're still in development, so what would you have me do? We're not gathering the emails so we can spam people, we're figuring out where we can reach potential customers, who these people are, and will be sending them question aires to fit them into our trials, and later on the waistlist. We took a page right out of superhuman, and as far as getting people interested, it's working well enough. Btw, we're not a QS startup, we're a sleep tech. When we've got product and people using it, we'll update the website, and perhaps it will be more to your taste then. But at the moment, 5% of people who visit the site are signing up, so apparently we are striking the right nerve with some people.
