Fastest way to get beta users and monetise in Hong Kong (B2B2C SaaS)

[Happeep]

Hey Fastlane,


I’m building a B2B2C SaaS for aesthetic / wellness. Currently at MVP stage (usable as a beta).

I’m based between Hong Kong and London, and my initial go-to-market is Hong Kong (dense market, fast decision cycles, clinics already paying for software).

I’ve done early user interviews and light testing with a few clinics, but I’m now trying to answer two very practical questions:

1. What’s the best and free way to acquire beta users in Hong Kong for B2B SaaS?
2. How would you approach monetisation during beta in this market?
   
   • Paid beta vs discounted early access
   • Setup fees + lower monthly
   • Free beta → paid conversion
   • Or charge immediately to filter the seriousness?

Appreciate any hard-earned insights (and brutal honesty).

Thanks
