Join a Tech Focus Group in Austin

By PortalPublished Sep 26, 20264 min read

Most apps are built by people who never talk to their users. We’re doing it the other way around.

What the Portal focus group is

A small group of people in Austin (and online anywhere in the US) who try new Portal features first and tell the founder what works and what doesn’t.

What you’d do

  • Test new features before everyone else
  • Answer short surveys
  • Join occasional group calls or in-person sessions in Austin
  • Tell us honestly what you’d change

What you get

  • Early access to new features
  • A direct line to the founder
  • Your ideas in the app
  • Something real to put on your resume if you’re a student

Who we’re looking for

College students, creators, people who go out a lot, and anyone tired of fake content online. You must be 18 or older.
