Helping startups build viral product launches since 2008.
A letter from the founder & CEO
Hi, I'm Justin, the founder of Prefinery.
Over the years, I've had the privilege of working with many startups. Unfortunately, I've also seen too many of them struggle. They launch products without enough buzz, don't gain early traction, and often run out of steam before they've even had a chance to grow.
I built Prefinery in 2008 to solve this exact problem. Back then, there wasn't an easy way for startups to create viral waitlists or referral campaigns that build excitement before launch. That's how Prefinery became the first SaaS platform for managing pre-launch waiting lists.
What sets us apart is that Prefinery is proudly bootstrapped (no investors). We're customer-funded and have been around for the long haul, operating sustainably for over 16 years. We charge a fair price for our software, which keeps us profitable, independent, and focused on what matters most: delivering value to you, our customer.
Today, Prefinery is so much more. We've evolved into the most customizable word-of-mouth referral platform for software companies, helping them run viral pre-launch campaigns, referral marketing programs, and grow their audience faster. Thousands of businesses now use our platform to boost signups, attract early customers, and increase engagement through powerful referral campaigns.
If you're looking to supercharge your next product launch, I hope you'll give Prefinery a try. I'm confident it'll help your startup gain the traction it needs.
Give it a shot and let me know what you think!
Justin
Founder, Prefinery
