I recommend that you make the app available for beta testing with some users. Maybe even releasing a beta version to the public, do not make the mistake of waiting until you have the perfect product.

Other request/suggestion is to make it open source or at least free for personal use, it will bring a lot of users that will want to have the same tooling at their workplaces. Then you can have commercial licenses that you make corporations pay for.

Keep the great work!

Agree - could you release an Alpha version via Kickstarter? I'd pay (say) 50 SEK for alpha access to play with it for a couple of months, and (if wanted) give feedback on bugs.

You could always end alpha access at a given point (set date or once the beta release is out) and/or offer upgrades to the full package at a slight discount.

No downside, apart from a little more complication for you, and you'd maybe get a bit of money even sooner...
