I think the only way really to make it work is by having a private "beta" invites or the placeholder or something so that you can build some excitement and get people signed up. Because if your app requires a lot of data (i.e. people) before it becomes useful, then you can't really turn it on with like 5 users!

It is a very tough problem. I might look to other sites and try to see what they have done. Ello for example is one recent site. Perhaps there is a way to partner with an existing service. You will have to get creative to get past the chicken/egg problem. I wish you success!

That's a good idea with the private beta. Yet, even with a small amount of people we can do our service of connecting already - it's more manual work though for now.

Yes, we're working on it to get creative with that challenge, like with all the other challenges ;)

Thanks a lot for your words, jakejake. Very much appreciated! :)
