What they did
About 10 hours into the 12-hour build he launched a waitlist so people could sign up before the tool was ready, and let early beta testers use the product with full access. Several paid through Stripe before the 12 hours were up even though he had only asked them to test. Advice: if people resonate with what you share, spin up a quick email list, even a Google Form, and launch the simplest version as early as possible.

“And then by the end of the hackathon, maybe about 10 hours in, I launched a wait list for people so they could sign up in advance before the tool was ready. Got a bunch of people to sign up for it.”
“It was totally unexpected cause I hadn't asked them to pay for it, I had just asked them to test the product.”
