Let's say that an engaged beta user is one who'll pay me $1 a month plus would chat with me for 10 mins a day as I build it. I'm purely building for the love of the game at this point :) (No fundraising needed). Success to me is one where I can spend lots of time building a product for appreciative users who are happy to give me ~unlimited feedback as I build.
