Software Products as a Service?

[Mr.Donnerhuhn]

Hey everyone,

I want to build a business that offers subscribers a wide variety of software products for a specific niche and in order to pull this off I figure I need a few basic things:

-Third-party developers willing to offer their products up through my service

-Something akin to an API for the developers to implement in their code to make the service work, functionally

Now the API I can pretty much handle, I know a guy who's a great coder that could handle that sort of implementation. My question is how can get the third-party developers interested in offering their product when I don't have an existing customer base, and not a TON of solid evidence of validation to show them?

Tips on building business validation, I think might be my core question.
