You can try offering a discount to users who upgrade early. This has worked on me in the past.
gotcha - that depends on the startup/founder and investor I suppose
Are you asking what should be in your pitch deck, or what stage the company should be at before fundraising?
Iubenda is also pretty good: https://www.iubenda.com/
Unfortunately, I don't know much about the US visa process, just that it's quite tricky. Also, don't listen to the Twitter nonsense, California is still the place to be
Good luck! Where are you moving to? How'd you go about getting a visa?
I have since heard some criticisms of this technique so I would do some research before you try it out, but we used the Van Westendorp’s Price Sensitivity Meter methodology https://medium.com/@alex_sherwood/how-to-find-the-right-price-for-your-product-or-service-using-van-westendorps-price-sensitivity-bf21684b14f3
We priced too high based on the results. Asking someone what they'd pay is way different than actually having them put their credit card down obviously, which is probably the main issue with this methodology.

For us, the company and I are based in the US and my co-founder is in Poland. We had our lawyer file the 83(b), and then we use Deel to manage his contract/salary, but that's all we really have to manage.
Hello - I wrote up a resource on this https://taskablehq.com/blog/launch-plan
Quick summary:
- Talk to subscribers early and often
- Pick out the most engaged subscribers
- Remind them who you are and why they were interested in the first place
- Test out different copy and onboarding flows
- Send a few emails until they sign up
- Keep talking to them if they don’t sign up
I wrote a blog on this a while back: https://taskablehq.com/blog/launch-plan
Some key points: use your waiting list as an opportunity to talk with prospective users, keep everyone in the loop as you progress so they don't forget about you, and don't expect most of them to convert.
We were on Product Hunt's Ship/upcoming page and most of those early sign ups didn't convert - we got a lot of spam from there. However, betalist did product quite a few actual users for us.
