HN Office Hours with Michael Seibel and Aaron Harris

We are not up and running yet. But we are building a subscription management tool that helps SaaS businesses manage , view their user's subscription.

We are going to solve a lot of problems that come with subscription like taxes, usage rules, customer portal, price a/b testing , dunning management etc... we are going to support multiple payment gateways like braintree and stripe.

We are working on this product because we struggled to find a subscription management tool for the right quality and price in our last subscription product I hope that you choose us because we really need the help XD.

This sounds like a cool idea - when do you plan on launching your v1?

We mainly have two questions.

1) Once we launch how do you sell your product to get the first 50 users. Our best guess is to use ads channels like google ads.

2) How do you approach figuring out problems that users have. The way we are approaching this problem right now is by building features that we wanted previously.

We would also appreciate it if you have any additional advise.

I would attempt to hand recruit my first 50 customer - find startups who you think could use the service - also I might prefer email marketing over ads. Best way to figure out the problems users have is to ask them :)
