Las week we launched Portiko. A site that connects scientists looking to carry out experiments and researchers with the experience and tools to do so.

We launched with a Google form and a ".verel.app" landing page with a hero and a CTA.

My co-founder wrote a tweet and asked every account she could for a retweet. Turns out, most people are open to help out if you ask.

Before we knew it, the tweed had 400k views and 2k likes.

We got over 800 people to fill out the Google form. Around 430 of those turned into registered users once we launched the site.

TL;DR: Launch now, and ask for help.

Congrats, you just found an unoccupied hole in the market, which doesn't only exist in your mind, but also in real world - this happens rarely.
