How you earn BP: Publish a brief +100 BP (once per brief).

How points work

One balance for every role. BP recognise contribution and build contributor status, early access and reputation; they have no cash value and cannot be cashed out.

Privacy Policy

BetaConnect Inc. · Effective September 29, 2026

Plain-language summary

The full, current Privacy Policy and Terms of Service live on our Legal page. This summary is provided for convenience only.

1. Who we are

BetaConnect is a validation layer for early-stage startups: founders score a brief, testers answer back, and investors review the evidence.

2. What we collect

We keep this deliberately small:

Your password is handled by our authentication provider using industry-standard hashing. We never store or see it in readable form.

3. Why we collect it

We use this information to create and secure your account, to deliver and support the service, to communicate with you about beta access, service changes and your support requests, to understand which parts of the product people actually use, and to detect abuse. We do not sell personal information and we do not share it with advertisers or data brokers.

4. Your consent and your rights under PIPEDA

We handle personal information under the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), Canada’s federal privacy law, and we rely on your consent to do so. Under PIPEDA you have the right to access the personal information we hold about you, the right to have it corrected where it is inaccurate or incomplete, and the right to withdraw your consent at any time, subject to legal or contractual limits and to reasonable notice. You may also ask us to delete your account and the information tied to it. If you withdraw consent we may no longer be able to provide the service. We aim to answer every request within thirty days. If you are not satisfied with our response you may complain to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.

5. Who else processes your information

We use a small number of infrastructure providers, which act on our instructions and are not permitted to use your information for their own purposes:

Support staff at these providers may access data outside Canada in the ordinary course of keeping their systems running.

6. Cookies

Cloudflare Web Analytics is cookieless: it does not set or read cookies and it does not build a profile that follows you between sites. We set no advertising cookies and no cross-site tracking cookies. We do use your browser’s local storage to remember practical things such as your chosen colour theme, your signed-in session, and waitlist entries waiting to be saved.

7. How long we keep it, and how we protect it

We keep account and waitlist information while it is still needed for the purpose we collected it, and we delete or de-identify it within a reasonable period after you close your account or ask us to remove it. We may retain minimal records longer where law, tax or accounting rules require it.

We are an early-stage product, so we will be honest about the level of protection rather than overstate it: the site is served over HTTPS, passwords are hashed by our authentication provider and never stored by us in readable form, database access is restricted, and administrative access is limited to the founders. Even so, no system is perfectly secure, and we do not promise that this one is.

8. Children

The service is a business tool and is not directed at children under sixteen.

9. Changes to this policy

We will post any updated version on this page and change the effective date above. If a change is significant we will also try to tell you directly.

Terms of Service

BetaConnect Inc. · Effective September 29, 2026

Plain-language summary

The full, current Privacy Policy and Terms of Service live on our Legal page. This summary is provided for convenience only.

1. Acceptance of these terms

By visiting this site, creating an account or using BetaConnect, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the service. If you are using it on behalf of a company, you confirm that you may bind that company to these terms.

2. The service, and the fact that it is a beta

BetaConnect is a validation layer for early-stage startups: founders write and score a brief, testers answer back, and investors review the evidence. Today the AI Pre-Test Brief and its deterministic five-person simulated panel are live; real tester responses and investor-ready evidence are planned, not live yet. What the AI Brief produces is a simulation, not feedback from real people.

The service is an early-access beta and a working prototype. It is incomplete, it changes often, features may be added, altered or removed without notice, and it will contain bugs. Data you enter during the beta may be lost or reset. Please do not rely on the beta as your only record of anything important, and do not use it for anything where a failure would cause real harm.

3. Your account

You agree to give us accurate registration information and to keep it up to date. You are responsible for safeguarding your password and for everything that happens under your account, and you should tell us promptly at hello@betaconnect.ca if you think your account has been used without your permission. One person or one company may hold one account unless we agree otherwise in writing.

4. Pricing is information only — no payment is processed

The plans shown on this site (currently $100, $300 and $500 CAD per month) are displayed for information and evaluation only. No payment processing is live. The checkout screens are simulated: no card is captured, no card is charged, no invoice is issued and no subscription is created. If and when we begin charging, we will present real payment terms and get your agreement before taking any money.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to use the service to break the law, to infringe someone else’s rights, to upload material you have no right to upload, to send spam or malware, to scrape or copy the service at scale, to reverse engineer it, or to get around its security or access limits. We may suspend or end access if you do.

6. No warranty

The service is provided “as is” and “as available”, with all faults and without warranty of any kind, whether express or implied. To the fullest extent the law allows, we disclaim every implied warranty, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, uninterrupted availability, and the accuracy or completeness of any output, score, estimate or recommendation the service produces. Nothing here is a promise of any particular business result.

7. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for any loss of profit, revenue, data, goodwill or business interruption, arising out of or relating to your use of the service, even if we were told such loss was possible. Our total aggregate liability for all claims relating to the service is limited to the greater of one hundred Canadian dollars (CAD $100) and the amount you actually paid us for the service in the twelve months before the claim. Some jurisdictions do not allow these limits, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

8. Your responsibility to us

You agree to cover reasonable losses, including legal fees, that we incur because of your breach of these terms or your misuse of the service.

9. Changes, suspension and termination

We may modify, suspend or discontinue all or part of the service at any time, including during the beta, and we do not guarantee it will stay available. You may stop using it at any time. We may also update these terms; the current version and its effective date always live on this page.

10. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada that apply within it, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. You and we submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Province of Ontario for any dispute arising out of these terms or the service.
