Beta Testers Hub is a network of early adopters signed up for the service. Startups can apply with an offer for their beta product or MVP, bringing the first batch of beta customers to their product.
It's a great way to pitch your product to real customers and make it more appealing when applying to Product Hunt! For early adopters: try out innovative products and send feedback as an influential customer (being one of the first), getting additional exposure and premium access.
@evilspyboy hey Andrew, just linked it - http://betatestershub.com/faq/ - let me know if you need to know anything else. It's work in progress, based on the feedback we receive here :)
@no_fear_inc probably should add in your faq about how this works with different types of releases.... I have one app which id run through testflight and need the device id for ios another is getting distributed for alpha through the play store so you have to join a google group before you get access to the download (for examples).
The one id try through you would be my alpha (closed beta) but it has social parts to it so maybe this is a bit limiting in my case.... still tempted
@evilspyboy the process is fairly simple - if the product/service is testable, we send a newsletter with the new products/services (up to 5). Your pitch to the testers could explain the process, what do you need etc.
Also, once a number of users join your system, you can contact them over and over for next iterations. You can resubmit if you want to reach out to more testers since our list grows with time.
Love the idea @no_fear_inc and congratulations on the launch. I imagine that the eventual revenue model would be to charge startups for testing? Also, would love to chat with you about adding Beta Testers Hub to places we submit to for Startuplister.
@crixlet thanks Aaron. We believe in the freemium model. The revenue opportunities we see are more exposure to startup purchasing a premium plan - better startup overview or repetitive listing in the newsletter for paying startups. Also, if the revenue is decent, we will try to reward active and helpful testers that actually help startups with valuable feedback and feature suggestions.
Ping me on Twitter and we can chat about Startuplister too.

Just added my teamrock.pro recruitment startup. I kinda panicked with the input box so it's imperative you read the FAQ on there before you get nasty with the input form. Any alternatives here?

Beta Testers Hub is a network where startups and early adopters can meet.
This is great for startups because they can get valuable feedback from real users who would like to use their service. Also great for users who would like to try different new services, who would like to get access to early betas and who could get free access as a reward for their participation when the product is launched for the general public.
There are more than 700 early adopters and 100 startups on the list.

@no_fear_inc was looking for something like that so firstly thank you for building this :), launching our beta version in the next few days so can't to get kickstarted with beta testers hub !
@oprostrednik not yet, we just launched last Sunday - we will start regrouping them once we reach to a good number in our email list. Also, we will prepare case studies for some of the featured startups, but that's on the roadmap for now.

This is a great idea! How do you find your testers?
