Never waste your time to make the product perfect, Always follow the steps of lean startup. Launch MVP (minimum value product) first and that too don't launch directly. firstly beta launch it. there are many platforms which will provide you the beta testers and early adopters.

Trust me once you beta launch your product early adopters will give you many useful tips and most important the subscribe button and review of early adopters will give the idea that whether your product is needed in the market and upto what extent and what changes needs to be done

There review will help you to determine the direction of development and they can even help you to determine the reasonable cost of the product(if you ask them for it)

I have made this mistake so please never spent countless hours in development just because you think its needed in the market take the review and idea validation from experts.

As a one person enterprise (zejoop dot com) I have been very product focused to date and I have struggled to get test users. I had no idea there were beta platforms, per se, so I Googled your phrase "beta testers and early adopter platforms" and learned a lot - especially from particularly helpful post on Quora.

That said, could you recommend top 3 such platforms in your experience?

[rajnikant]

Yes try betapage.co, betalist.com, launchingnext.com,betabound.com and producthunt.com, please note betalist.com is paid but rest of the platform are free
