Before writing any code, technically not. Before product was alpha? Yes.
PS: I wanted to followup to this, because I should mention that I was just as much a skeptic as you about this. I thought it would be impossible to get a check up front, despite people recommending it as a way to bootstrap the business. Well, it totally works. Just make the customer happy, grab a check upfront and have a contract.
- pc86 13y agoI too have read a lot about people doing this, but nothing specifying how exactly they executed it. Does your contract specify production features, a timeline, or both (or neither)? I’d love to read a blog post about your experience with this and how you executed it, how the pre-alpha revenue compares to beta or production, etc.
