What this waitlist form asks, and why
Built to capture demand before launch with as little friction as possible. Only the email address is required, and it comes first. A name is optional. 'What best describes you?' separates the curious from people trying to solve the problem right now, which tells you who to invite first. People who say yes to early access in exchange for feedback see one more question, about what frustrates them today. That answer is free customer research, and it is asked only of people who volunteered. Export the list to CSV, or on Pro send each signup to your email tool.
