Question
I have a SaaS startup that services the marketing and promotion industry which is directed at small businesses, not for regular consumers.
Is Kickstarter a poor platform for this kind of launch? Should we consider another option?
Answer
Kickstarter works best for consumer products or art projects. This does two things:
1. It has wide appeal.
2. There is a tangible product afterwards that the backers can enjoy.
B2B SaaS has neither of these two. Instead, use producthunt or hackernews to get feedback (and early customers) on your product. Does that help?
