Episode notes
Leverage Existing Contacts
- Share your startup with your existing contacts, like ex-colleagues or previous clients.
- These people already know you, making them more likely to try and potentially buy your product.
Waitlist Validation
- Waitlists can be valuable for validating your idea by gauging interest.
- However, relying solely on a waitlist for launch might not be effective, as people's needs change over time.
Social Media Connection
- Instead of relying on a cold waitlist, connect with people on social media.
- Build relationships with those who show interest, increasing the likelihood of engagement upon launch.
