Founder here!
What may seem like a simple product (just get a bunch of services together, right?) might have been one of the most difficult products I've launched. I'm not a salesman, nor a particular fan of sending emails 24/7. That's what this all boiled down too however. Cold-emailing. Asking for introductions. Scheduling meetups. Sending follow up emails. Etc. While you really just want to work on building a cool product.
That said, I'm really happy with results. Proud to have so many great companies involved and hoping the additional revenue will enable me to grow BetaList further.
Looking forward hearing what you think!
Fun fact: Although BetaList is pretty well known in the startup scene it's smaller than you might think. Bootstrapped and based in Europe. I'm the only full-timer on it at the moment.
- atleta 12y agoCan you provide a proper invoice? What is linked in the response email is something like a receipt, but it's not an invoice. It does not have an invoice number nor does it have information about the seller (company name & address).
- keesj 12y agoSorry about that. I sent you an updated invoice with all the information you should need. We'll make sure to add that info by default for other people.
- semerda 12y agoIs the AWS deal real?
- keesj 12y agoYep. Everything included, including the AWS deal, were manually negotiated with those companies for them to be included.
