A couple months ago I came across this techcrunch article: http://techcrunch.com/2012/01/05/does-your-startup-need-beta-testers-betabait-will-hook-you-up-now-on-email-the-web/
I was inspired by the idea - but I thought their execution was just about as poor as it got. And as they made iterations their website only got worse in my opinion. Yet somehow they got covered on TC and other popular blogs a few more times.
I knew there was an opportunity to do this better. So HN did I succeed? I spent a lot of time focusing on usability, design, and influencing users to actually leave feedback for startups.
In about a little over a month of up-time I have 225 users and 68 startups submitted.
What can I do to improve this even more? What makes you want to use it or not use it?
