Ask HN: Is it viable to charge for access to a closed beta of your product?

It certainly works for games.


Yeah I thought that was the case for games. The product in question however is a big data/intelligence tool. A 'founding customer' deal was what we were considering, a heavily discounted price for a years subscription and to join a closed beta. Just wondered whether charging for closed beta was a generally accepted thing or whether we would be laughed out of the park.
