Where look for beta testers?

I'm prototyping my MVP and I'm looking for people who can revise my idea against needs. It's better to show this to colleges or potential users? Do you have any idea?

I stumbled upon these ones a while ago (not promoting) https://launchpropeller.com/ otherwise you can check these subreddits https://www.reddit.com/r/alphaan... and if you want rough critique https://www.reddit.com/r/roastmy.... Hope that helps 🤞🙂

@marcin_skrzynski actually there are companies dedicated to beta testing, but I can't recall any. I'll send it to you if it comes back to my mind (I didn't bookmark on time aaarggh)

@nenadg Thank you so much for your suggestion. I wasn't aware there are dedicated reddits for beta users!

@nenadg Thank you, much appreciated! > I didn't bookmark on time What a coincidence my product is focused on bookmarking 😂

Facebook groups worked very well for us. If you have social media skills, you could start playing around with content on there as well (depending on your niche). Online communities like FB, Reddit, Slack, etc are great places to start though.

@iamdonle Thank you. Slack option seems interesting. I didn't think about that in this way as social platform but it's worth to try.

If your truly beta testing and past the family/friends stage, reach out to potential users. It's good marketing practice too (how to communicate/articulate your value). Assuming the product solves a problem, which it should 🤨... this should be relatively easy to figure out. You just gotta put on those selling pants!

@alex_papageorge1 Thanks for the tip. Do you think personally write to potential users is good approach? Or is it better to leave info about project where they can be and wait for them to reach me instead?
