Why I Built WaitlistKit

Hey, I'm the solo founder behind WaitlistKit. I built this because I made the same mistake every indie hacker makes: I built the product first, then tried to find users.

Spoiler: it doesn't work.

The Problem

I'd spent 3 months building a SaaS tool. When I launched, I had exactly 12 users. Twelve. After 90 days of work.

I looked at tools to help me build a waitlist before my next launch. Viral Loops wanted $35/month. SparkLoop wanted $99/month. For a pre-revenue indie hacker, that's insane.

So I built WaitlistKit.

The Solution

WaitlistKit is the tool I wished I had. A simple way to build a waitlist where every signup gets a referral link. Share to move up the list. Your waitlist grows itself.

No complex setup. No $99/month subscription. Just a beautiful waitlist that actually works.

Our Values
