Validate the idea before you build it.

The platform is in private beta now. We onboard the waitlist in order as cohorts open, starting with founders in Toronto and across North America. Joining early locks your place in line along with early-access pricing.

Founder plans are listed at $100, $300 and $500 CAD per month, but these are illustrative while we validate what a founder should actually receive. Checkout is a demo: no card is charged, no tax is collected and there is no subscription to cancel yet. Today the AI Pre-Test Brief is free; structured tester feedback and evidence reports are planned capabilities, not live features. Tester and Investor access is free.

Customer discovery interviews told us investors want to browse and connect without friction, and founders want more qualified eyes on their traction. Free investor access feeds both sides of that loop, so we built it that way from day one.

Testers complete an interest and usage survey when they join. Our matching engine ranks them against your product by industry, platform and profile fit, with LinkedIn integration for verification. You review and approve the final pool before launch.

Early access to products before anyone else, a direct line to the founders building them, and rewards for completed sessions and structured feedback. Each action pays a fixed amount of BetaConnect Points, once per brief.

BetaConnect is incorporated in Ontario and operates out of Toronto, with a North America focus at launch. The waitlist is open worldwide, and testers can join from anywhere.

Pick what you want to do today. A Founder writes and scores a brief, a Tester responds to briefs and earns the most points, and an Investor shortlists and reviews published briefs. The step-by-step Role guide walks through the first five minutes for each one.

Yes. One account can hold Founder, Tester and Investor at once. There is one BetaConnect Points balance for the whole account; switching roles only changes which room opens first, and it never resets your points.

Read How it works for the big picture (four role tabs, the loop diagram and the full points table), then follow the Role guide, a six-step wizard with a progress bar, jump chips and the exact tab to open at each step.

Your balance is the sum of every keyed entry in your on-device ledger. Each earning action pays a fixed BP amount once per brief, and the daily UTC check-in ladder pays 50, then 25 on days 2 to 6, then 125 on day 7. Redeeming a perk subtracts its cost. BP have no cash value and cannot be cashed out.

Yes. Every daily check-in is a separate dated ledger entry, so the left rail shows your all-time total alongside what you earned today and how many check-in days you have. Points are stored in this browser; opening the site from a different browser or web address starts a new local ledger.

No expiry policy has been published yet. Your balance is a running total kept on this device, and the Reward Program Terms will state an expiry rule before one is introduced.

Yes, for non-cash in-product perks listed in the Rewards panel, such as a downloadable points statement, an early-contributor badge and a lime accent theme. Each perk shows its BP cost and subtracts it from your balance. These perks have no monetary value.

No. Cash-out is not available. BP have no cash value, cannot be exchanged for money, and nothing is paid out yet; your balance is a running total of contribution rather than a payable one. You can record interest in a future cash-out in the Rewards panel; that does not debit points or create a credit.

SAMPLE briefs are clearly labelled practice items shown while there are no real published briefs. They are never live traction. A practice response is noted on this device only and a small practice award is recorded locally.

Leave your email and we contact you as private-beta cohorts open, in the order you joined. Joining early keeps your place in line. One launch email, no spam.

Testers and investors use BetaConnect free, and the AI Brief is free to try with no card or signup. Founder plans are listed at $100, $300 and $500 CAD per month, but we are in private beta: checkout is a demo, no card is captured or charged, and no subscription is created yet.

A Founder pays for qualified responses and investor attention, not for software seats. Keeping the Tester and Investor sides free is what makes a published brief worth reading. Founder plans are listed at $100, $300 and $500 CAD per month, but during private beta checkout is a demo, so nobody is charged yet.

Cash-out is not available. BP have no cash value, cannot be exchanged for money, and nothing is paid out yet; your balance is a running total of contribution rather than a payable one. Today the points ledger lives in this browser rather than on a server, so a cash value could be edited or replayed and could not be audited. Real cash payouts would also need revenue to fund them, identity and anti-fraud checks, tax handling and reviewed legal terms. You can record interest in a future cash-out in the Rewards panel; that does not debit points, create a credit or promise a payment.

Today BP redeems for non-cash in-product perks in the Rewards panel: a downloadable CSV statement of your activity (100 BP), an early-contributor badge (250 BP) and a lime accent theme (500 BP). BP also tracks your all-time total, today, check-in days and contributor status, and your daily streak builds towards 300 BP over seven days. These are digital perks with no cash value. We are considering a credit towards a Founder plan once billing is live; that would be a closed-loop discount, not cash. BP cannot be transferred, sold or exchanged for cash.

No. It is a deterministic simulation: one description is scored across six weighted dimensions and a five-person simulated panel reacts. That makes the result repeatable, so you can change one assumption and see exactly what moved. It is a starting point for thinking, not evidence from real people. Actual validation means responses from testers who experience the problem and try the product; that is the marketplace we are building next, and it is not live today. The briefs marked SAMPLE are clearly-labelled practice items, never live traction.
