Building Your First Profitable Startup
One thing I'm having trouble with (that I haven't seen mentioned anywhere) is getting alpha testers. I'm building extensible analytics software (www.instahero.com, not all ready yet), and I need people who could use something like that, but I haven't been able to find any.<p>You can't try marketing at this stage (people will expect something that works) and all the people I know are at least slightly out of the target market.<p>Maybe it all comes down to having a good network... If anyone would like to try Instahero (even for very custom stuff, like hardware sensor tracking), get in touch with me (info is in my profile) and I'll set you up.
