The program
A clear path from local insight to product impact
You always know what to test, what evidence helps, how review works, and what each verified contribution unlocks.

Selected applicants accept a place and enter a market-based mission queue.

Run assigned missions in your real language, browser, device, network, and event environment.

Verified contributions build your record and unlock Builder status when the threshold is met.
Mission types
Test the parts of HereNow that must travel well
Missions are scoped to a real product question. You may receive only the work relevant to your market, devices, and experience.
Creation flow
Turn a local event idea into a publishable page and report where AI output or editing feels off.
Event page
Review dates, currencies, addresses, sharing, layout, and trust signals as a local visitor would.
Registration
Test guest registration and organizer follow-up across common devices and browsers.
Localization
Catch wording, formatting, cultural assumptions, and translation choices that do not travel well.
Fix verification
Re-test a reported issue and confirm whether the full user path works after a change.
Market insight
Explain how people in your city discover, trust, join, and pay for independent events.
Recognition & benefits
Earned through useful work, not a signup form.
A Candidate becomes a Founding Builder after at least three verified contributions, including one core event-creation, event-page, or registration-flow test.
Founding Builder badge
An enduring account marker with optional public display and optional test-market label.
Founding Plan
The standard HereNow creator subscription at no charge under the current program terms.
Verified record
A contribution history showing which missions passed review and their product impact.
Future pathways
Strong Builders may be considered separately for local research or ambassador opportunities.
Program rules
Built for useful testing and mutual trust
These boundaries keep the program safe, credible, and sustainable for everyone involved.
Voluntary participation+
This is a product community, not employment. Standard missions are unpaid unless separately agreed in writing.
Protect attendee data+
Never submit private registration details, passwords, payment data, or sensitive attendee information as evidence.
Report honestly+
Submit work you performed, describe the environment accurately, and do not manufacture issues or evidence.
Benefits have boundaries+
The Founding Plan excludes transaction fees, third-party charges, custom work, and separately priced add-ons.
Ambassador terms are separate+
Ambassador selection and affiliate commissions require a separate offer and agreement; neither is automatic.
Badges remain accountable+
HereNow may suspend or revoke participation, badge display, and benefits for fraud, misuse, or serious rule violations.

FAQ
Before you apply
Who can apply?+
International students and other locally embedded early users may apply. We select cohorts based on current market coverage, device coverage, availability, and the testing missions we need—not nationality.
Is this a job or paid internship?+
No. The Founding Builder program is a voluntary product community, not employment. Standard missions are unpaid unless a separate written agreement explicitly says otherwise.
How is the Founding Builder badge earned?+
Builder status requires at least three verified contributions, including at least one verified core-flow contribution in event creation, event-page testing, or registration testing.
What does the Founding Plan include?+
Eligible Builders receive the standard HereNow creator subscription at no charge under the current Founding Plan terms. Transaction fees, third-party costs, custom services, and separately priced add-ons are not included.
Does joining make me a country ambassador?+
No. Ambassador opportunities may be offered later through a separate selection process and written agreement. Referral commissions are not automatic program benefits.
Do I need a HereNow account to apply?+
No. You can apply with an email address. If invited, sign in with the same email to accept your place and open the member task center.
