Loved the import flow. Onboarding step 3 needs clearer copy.

◆ Flagship · AI Pre-Test Brief
Know what to test before you spend a dollar.
Describe your idea once. BetaConnect scores it across six
dimensions, simulates how a real tester panel would respond, and hands you a test plan —
so you validate the risky parts first instead of guessing.
Pick an option or choose Write my own instead. More detail scores higher.
What lands here
A scored brief in seconds — not a generic checklist.
Six dimensions. One readiness score.Then a panel of named industry personas reacts in their own words.
How a brief is produced
Scores risk firstProblem clarity and customer definition carry 20% each, so a vague idea cannot score well just by sounding ambitious.
Simulates a panelDraws a panel of named personas from your industry, plus one cross-industry challenger, each reacting in their own voice. Deterministic, so the same input always returns the same panel.
Hands you a planTester count, test duration and the hypotheses to run first, so you validate in 48 hours instead of six months.
Illustrative sample — dimension scores
This is an illustrative sample, not a saved result. Fill in the four fields
on the left, or press Try an example, and this panel is replaced by a brief scored from
your own wording. Nothing is sent anywhere — it runs entirely in your browser.

The Platform
Everything validation needs, in one place
From your first tester to your investor update, BetaConnect runs the whole feedback loop. No more cold outreach, scattered surveys or feedback that never turns into decisions.
01
Smart Matchmaking
Tell us your stage and market. BetaConnect ranks testers whose interests and platforms fit your product, so feedback comes from people who would actually use it.
02
Structured Feedback
Go beyond upvotes. Ratings, multiple choice and open responses capture specifics you can act on, not applause you can't.
03
Insights Dashboard
Watch responses land in real time. Satisfaction, demographics and recurring themes, summarized as they arrive so you can iterate this week, not this quarter.
04
Investor-Ready Reports
Turn test data into traction proof. Export a clean report of satisfaction, retention and demand that investors can actually trust.
05
Gamified Rewards
Testers earn rewards for completed sessions and honest feedback, so your beta gets finished instead of abandoned halfway.
06
Community Marketplace
Showcase your MVP with product pages and demo videos. Discover, rate and follow what other builders are shipping next door.
07
Direct Messaging
Talk to testers and investors without leaving the platform. Every conversation stays attached to the product it's about.
08
Ecosystem Integrations
LinkedIn verification, incubator tools and CRM workflows. BetaConnect plugs into the stack you already run instead of replacing it.
09
Web and Mobile
Founders live on desktop, testers live on their phones. One platform, dual-facing, every screen covered.
Who It's For
One platform, three sides of the table
Founders need signal, testers want access, investors hunt for proof. BetaConnect aligns all three incentives in one loop.
For Founders
From $99/mo
Launch structured beta tests with a guided builder
Two phases of customer discovery interviews with founders, incubator leaders and investors across North America shaped every feature on this page.
"We spent months on outreach that went nowhere. The feedback we did collect was polite, not useful. We needed specifics we could ship against."
Founder
MVP-stage SaaS · Toronto
"Recruiting twenty testers who actually stick around felt harder than building the product itself. That math has to change."
Solo Founder
Fintech · Waterloo
"I see hundreds of pitches a year. What I almost never see is evidence that users want the thing. Validation data would change the conversation."
Angel Investor
Early-stage · New York
"Our cohorts walk into demo day with slide decks. Traction numbers from a real beta would tell a completely different story."
Incubator Program Lead
Startup Accelerator · Ontario
"Product Hunt and cold email both assume you already have an audience. We needed one that came built into the platform."
Founder
Consumer App · Vancouver
"Everyone tells you to talk to users. Nobody tells you how to find twenty who will actually show up twice."
Solo Founder
B2B SaaS · Ottawa
"By the time our survey closed we had opinions, not evidence. I would trade ten opinions for one measurable behaviour."
Product Lead
Health Tech · Toronto
"My first question is always who has used it and what changed for them. Most decks cannot answer that yet."

Questions
Before you ask
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 run from $99/mo for access to 50 beta testers up to $499/mo for 300, with structured feedback tools and investor-ready reports included. Incubator plans for whole cohorts start at $1,000/mo. Testers and investors join 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. Rewards scale with the time and depth of each session, gamified to keep completion high.
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.
