Just thought I'd throw my two cents in. I work for a company in the beta test management space (SaaS-based testing platform as well as a services group for outsourcing). Happy to answer questions about beta testing, validating product/feature ideas, etc.

musclecoder posted:I just launched my first product - Accthub! Torn between responding here vs. CoC, but since I'm focusing more on the business than technical aspects, this thread seems more appropriate. I'm curious to hear more about your plan to take on Stackmob, Parse, Urban Airship, etc. Unixbeard brought up a good point about Salesforce's ability to target a niche and price point to take on the incumbents. But in their case, the incumbents were behemoth enterprise corporations with six-figure minimum engagements and very slow release cycles. With the benefit of hindsight, we can see they were very vulnerable. Your competition is practically as inexpensive, extremely agile, and well-funded/staffed. So, simply asked, why would someone choose Accthub over your competitors? If it's price, what evidence/inferences suggest that your potential customers are a) price sensitive and b) ready and willing to sacrifice the more complex features that your competitors' platforms support? There are hard questions about product positioning and customer acquisition that you'll need to face if this is going to be the sustainable business you envision.
