SignUpFirst fan here. As a product eval junkie, I love to literally sign up first. Takes pain out of capturing beta testers and users. (Caveat: make sure you capture who the user is so you can analyze data from SUF properly. Services like these attract lots of startup founders who tend to think...like other founders.)

@kkdub thanks for the kind words. This website was built to reward people like you who like to sign up first, glad you like to use it.
Great idea, early adopters are important in any business. Does it work well in preparing for a crowdfunding campaign? @davidsthinking
@shuo_yang_ Hi Shuo, great question... although we are not specifically designed for crowdfunding, getting a number of early adopters that can really help support and champion a successful crowdfunding campaign is a fantastic idea. So yes, although I do not have any case studies specifically relating to pre-crowdfunding startups I should definitely think it would help.
@davidsthinking Hi I did try though, two things: 1. The activation email went in to junk folder and I am using @hotmail.com. 2. Did submit a deal, but not sure whether users can understand it or not. Maybe a template would help us as well?
Netlodge signed up on SignUpFirst maybe a year ago and since then I've been loving the results. In all honesty, it's a cool platform.
@ryanheybourn Thanks for that feedback! It is great that you found success in using SignUpFirst. That's exactly what we wanted to provide, an alternative to marketing a startup.
Hello community!
Over the last year SignUpFirst has grown into a great community of early adopters claiming the best deals from tech startups each week by being first. Each week we publish numerous startups who are giving away some pretty awesome deals and rewards to their first users.
Early adopters can then upvote and comment on their favourite startups, claim the deal and be the first to use the product or service.
Over the last few months we have been working hard to completely change and simplify SignUpFirst. We scrapped a lot of features and made the entire website faster and easier to use.
I haven't tried it yet, but any product that helps startup reach a user who will be willing to test their product is certainly a great idea. Good luck and I might have some ideas to share on user acquisition we can work on that will help mobile apps who are building B2C platfoms.
@paulikhane Yes, although the platform is heavily based on showcasing exclusive rewards that early adopters can get... for startups who are giving the rewards and deals, getting feedback and an open dialog with their early adopters is really valuable!
Opened few startups on different tabs, but was too much effort to read instructions pop-up and act on them(I closed all those tabs without redeeming offers!). It'd be good to directly show up the service and then show me an option on how I could redeem there(Like the way PH does with an unobtrusive block at the top) - Before reading your instructions, I'd want to see the startups first and then decide if I want their free service!
@bharathkeshav great idea, I agree with you completely and will look at an easier way to display this. I'll comment back here when we develop something to solve this.
Hi David, SignUpFirst is coming along nicely! How do you drive users to the site to take advantage of the deals that start-ups are offering?
@anthony_stylian Hey Anthony, firstly one advantage is that a lot of startup founders are also early adopters, so we find that a lot of founders actually signup and take advantage of other founders offers. I think this is a fantastic dynamic to the community! Secondly we partner and engage with various communities that are full of potential early adopters. Like producthunt for example. Once people find value in using Signupfirst we have found they usually come back. Over the last year this has grown SignUpFirst into a really nice engaging community of people who literally love to sign up first.
