Couldn't agree more about putting it up now. It's such a minimal resource commitment, and you get to leverage any traffic/press with an incredibly valuable resource: interested users!

We got 400 beta users from a tech-crunch mention on a pretty minimal "teaser" beta page. Even though we lost some momentum by not being able to launch immediately with those users, it's been great to release waves of beta invites as we iterate.

Wow, impressive - you made it on TechCrunch with just a teaser page? How did they even have enough content to write about you? That's some good hype over a teaser!

It would be awesome if I could do the same, but I am worried that the teaser page won't really do the product justice, unless I outline all of the core features - which I'm a bit hesitant to do. I probably shouldn't be hesitant, but I am anyway.

Do you have a screenshot of your teaser, or can you describe what kind of info you included?
