Not yet "successful". But we put together a simple signup form, and then tried generated a bunch of press. It worked and we took in over a 1000 names, which (in our case) was enough for us to successfully demonstrate traction to investors.

Did the press know that all you had was a signup form with no product? If so how did you convince them to feature you? What did the press talk about if you only had a signup form?
