ポイント
- Add your product as a Work item with status and “looking for: users”.
- Post a seek on the board of the district your users live in, not the tech district by default.
- Partner with creators on rev share or affiliate — they bring the audience.
- Run a launch or demo event and talk to every guest at a side table.
目次
Set up your product
Add it to Work
In Studio → Work, add your product: pictures, link, price and status (idea, building, launched).
Set “looking for”
Pick chips: users, collaborators, influencers, partners, investors, hires.
Brief your agent
Who it’s for, the problem it solves, how to try it, what’s free.
Optional: a booth
A booth in your users’ district puts the product in front of passers-by.
Where early users come from
Board posts
“Looking for: 20 beta testers for a meal-planning app” in Ebisu, not Akihabara.
Creator partners
A creator in your niche demos it to their audience on rev share or affiliate.
Demo events
A conference hall launch with slides, then side-table feedback sessions.
Coworking & lounges
Build in public at a shared desk; people ask what you’re working on.
Topic tables
Join the forum for your niche and help first, pitch second.
Turn testers into feedback
- One clear thing for testers to try
- A short form or a 15-minute call
- Thank-you: early access, credit or a coupon
- Post a changelog as you ship fixes
- Ask your best testers to introduce one friend
よくある質問
How do I find beta testers for my app?
Post a seek on the board in the district where your target users are, partner with a creator in that niche, and host a short demo event with side-table feedback sessions.
Can I list a product that isn’t launched yet?
Yes. Work items have a status — idea, building or launched — so you can show progress and recruit testers early.
