For our startup it was the other way around, by releasing too early there was an extreme pressure on us. Not only by the users and their complaints/feature requests/etc but also by all the things we still needed to fix/develop/polish.
Looking back I think we were way better off when we would have released a 1.0 that was thoroughly tested and worked as advertised instead of a 0.2 alpha ready to be used by the public and introducing all kinds of extra stuff that slowed down actual development and introduced a sh*tload of other problems.
