Connect with college students to test your app, share honest feedback, create product content, and participate in your launch.
Proxoso connects companies with college students for paid product trials, feedback, content creation, and campus experiences. Students verify with a .edu email.
Six practical ways to put your product in front of real students.
Ask students to use a beta version of your product, complete defined actions, and describe any friction they encountered.
Example task
"Create an account, complete the first core action, and answer five questions about your experience."
Output
Structured feedback from intended users before you ship.
Offer students free access to your product in exchange for becoming early adopters. Great for building a real user base before you have traction.
Example task
"Sign up for free and use the app for one week. Tell us what brought you back — and what didn't."
Output
Real early users plus honest retention feedback.
Students try a specific feature and answer questions about clarity, usefulness, and what they would change.
Example task
"Use the new feature to complete one task, then explain what helped and what you would change."
Output
Feedback to inform your next iteration.
Use surveys to learn how students solve a problem today, which tools they use, and how they react to your concept.
Example task
"Tell us how you currently solve this problem, which tools you use, and what you think of this product concept."
Output
Research to inform product decisions and positioning.
Students record honest first impressions, walkthroughs, or demo clips based on a brief you write. Useful for social proof, ads, or seeing how real users talk about your product.
Example task
"Open the app for the first time on camera. Walk us through what you see and what you'd do next."
Output
Unscripted student-created content for agreed uses — in their own words.
Host an in-person or virtual activation — a demo day, product drop, or campus pop-up. Students participate and engage with your product live.
Example task
"Join our virtual launch, try the product with a guide, and share your first impression on the spot."
Output
Concentrated launch energy with real student participation and immediate feedback.
These are example briefs to show what a campaign looks like — not real customer campaigns.
StudyFlow
Sign up, create a study plan, and answer 5 questions about where setup felt unclear.
Aura AI
Complete one task using the new workflow, then explain what worked and what felt confusing.
Fitch Fitness
Record a short walkthrough showing how you'd use the app during a typical day on campus.
Four steps from idea to feedback.
Decide what you want to learn or test, and which students you want to reach.
Write clear instructions, set compensation per student, and specify what a valid submission looks like.
Matched students complete your task and submit their work or feedback through the platform.
Review each submission, request changes if needed, and release payment when you're satisfied.
On measuring results: Paid trials help you collect participation and feedback. Track return visits and continued usage separately to learn whether students keep using your product after the campaign ends.
Proxoso helps developers and founders get college students to engage with their products through structured, compensated tasks. You define a brief — what to do, what questions to answer, what to submit — and students on the platform complete it and submit their work.
Developers use Proxoso to run app testing sessions, collect onboarding feedback, conduct product research surveys, gather student-created content, and introduce new products to a college audience. You set the compensation per student, and payment is only released after you review and approve each submission.
Proxoso is particularly useful if you're building something for college students — a study tool, social app, consumer AI product, or anything else relevant to campus life. Students verify with a .edu email before joining, so the audience is real.
Proxoso is a platform that connects companies with college students for paid tasks, surveys, experiences, and offers. Developers and founders use it to run app testing, collect onboarding feedback, gather product research, and recruit students for launch campaigns — all through a single workflow.
Create an opportunity on Proxoso, write a clear brief describing what you want students to do, set your compensation, and students are matched to it. You review their submissions and approve before payment is released.
Yes. You can post a survey or task targeting students before your product is publicly available. Students can test a beta or prototype if it's accessible to them, or respond to concept questions and wireframe descriptions through a survey opportunity.
Yes. Define the specific actions you want students to complete — such as signing up, finishing onboarding, or using one feature — and ask structured questions in the submission form. You receive written responses for each participant.
Yes. Describe the format, length, and content you want in your campaign brief. Students submit according to your instructions. Usage rights are governed by your campaign terms — you define what you're asking for and how you plan to use it.
Students on Proxoso verify with a .edu email. You can describe your target audience in your brief. Platform-level targeting options depend on the current product — check the opportunity creation flow for available filters.
You set the per-student compensation when creating an opportunity. Proxoso charges a 10% platform fee on top of what you pay students. You only pay when you approve a submission — funds are held in escrow until you release them.
No. If your product isn't ready, you can run a survey to collect research, test a concept, or gauge student interest. For testing tasks, students need access to something they can actually use — a beta, prototype, or staging environment.
No. Paid participation gets you structured feedback and initial exposure. Whether students continue using your product depends on whether it solves a real problem for them. Track return visits and continued usage separately to measure that.
Start with a focused task, a clear brief, and one question you want answered.
