My guess is that most products that do this aren't much further along than a weekend hack. It's pretty easy to throw up a marketing site, and it let's you quickly see if people are interested. Thing of it as a μMVP :D
- samstave 14y agoThey have a list of customers at the bottom of their splash - this looks like its more than a weekend hack... They may just not have the infrastructure to support a widely available service yet.
- goronbjorn 14y agoYou might notice that those are all YC companies also ;)
- samstave 14y agoHA! - No, I didn't notice that at all... Good point, thus those customers might be "load test" and "POC" and not necessarily paying...
- jessep 14y agoStripe launched and developed this way (yc first). Seems to work out pretty well.
- samstave 14y agoI didn't mean to imply it was a bad thing! Just that on my first post I saw "customers" thinking they may have been more traditional customers. But after being informed they were YC - it made sense they were more likely load-test and POC customers that help participate in the product evolution.
