Ask HN: When to Open a Beta?

4•growbell_social•2h ago

Looking for general advice on when to open up a Beta. There's a balance between features/polish and getting early feedback.

We have ~tens of people on our waitlist and are interested in how experienced companies/founders manage their Beta releases.
