Sounds pretty interesting. How are you planning to connect to new people regularly to pitch to? I am surely a lot of makers will be interested.
I wasn't thinking of connecting to people who actually want to be pitched for other than practice reasons. However, it's probably better to just start participating regularly in some online meetups, e.g. those to be found on Indie Hackers www.indiehackers.com/meetups - I'm sure there is plenty of chance to practice pitching there, if you just want to practice your pitching skills. Also pretty much the reason I didn't pursue thie idea more.
If you just need the basic service of sending emails you can go with any popular one like MailChimp, MailJet, SendGrid based on the dev experience.
Otherwise if you need more features you can compare the 2 major things the template handling and metrics APIs.
It depends on how you want to integrate into your product. Let us know may be we can provide some detailed feedback then.
Landing page hypothesis testing is something which helps a lot and I have seen from very small to top companies like Amazon using it to validate their product ideas. It definitely helps to start with a landing page having a wait-list to see how many people are actually interested.
This initial indication is really important and can save you a lot of development efforts, may help you come up with better solutions and even reshape your MVP.
I do prefer to start my projects with a landing page due to these benefits, if I haven't already validated the idea.
Thanks for you feedback @cat . I figured that I still do not have enough clarity on the GTM, so will pause my efforts for now. Building the POC anyways got me to a good start point of picking up any different idea now.
I am exploring few more ideas.
