Ask HN: Comparing beta sign-ups to paying customers

7 points

16 years ago

We are currently working on the MVP for our startup. We do hope eventually to include premium features specifically for business and content producers, but our MVP will be a consumer-focused free service.

There are many strong articles detailing how we should find ten people who will say that they'll buy the product. (Good example: http://blog.asmartbear.com/customer-validation.html) Does anyone have advice on how many beta sign-ups could serve as a reasonable gauge in lieu of customer validation?
