# Set up a Waitlist

> Waitlists are a simple and straightforward way to validate your idea or value proposition. It can be a powerful signal on how much potential your FinTech idea has.

Waitlists will help build your list of customers prior to launch and will give you a community that you can engage and test with. So create a waitlist, put it on your webpage, and start marketing your value proposition. At this stage, it’s the promise of your product that will spur people to join your waitlist and become future customers.

We’ve partnered with Viral Loops to bring you the best waitlist management suite of tools. A discount code can be used when creating an account.
