While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more

To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience.

Great job, Beta.

Great job, Beta. What stood out the most was the caliber of the people you invited to share their experiences. From investors to seasoned operators, every speaker brought unique perspectives and practical advice that we wouldn’t have gotten elsewhere. Hearing directly from people who have built and scaled successful startups helped me avoid common pitfalls and gave me confidence in how I approach my own journey. Those sessions were some of the most impactful parts of the program.

I really appreciate the way Beta runs…

I really appreciate the way Beta runs its program: it’s efficient, goal-oriented, and practical. Every session had clear takeaways, and the frameworks we were given helped us cut through the noise and focus on what actually drives growth. Instead of overwhelming us with theory, the program gave us actionable steps to validate, iterate, and execute. This clarity saved us time and energy, which is invaluable for an early-stage founder.

Beta Univ is Super Supportive, Great for Early Founders

Beta University provided me with a bunch of super helpful resources as an early stage founder. The Beta leaders are very dedicated, and they are constantly finding new ways to support the members (ex: mentors, networking, fundraising, accelerator connections). It's a great program for anyone trying to build a new business from the ground up!

Good experience

I’m part of Cohort 8 and had a really positive experience with Beta University. The program connected me with amazing founders and helped me get intros to top firms like Village Global and Hatrick Capital. The team was supportive, and the community felt real and motivated.

They do charge a $599 deposit to make sure founders stay committed, but it’s fully refundable—I got mine back at the end with no issues.

I saw some negative reviews floating around and got curious. I actually looked up the names they mentioned in our founder portal, and none of them matched any real participants. It’s sad to see a helpful and founder-first program being attacked unfairly. For me, it’s been a great stepping stone, and I’m grateful for what I got out of it.
