Yesterday at Beta Space, we put Bako Emergency Tech in front of a room of users and let them explore the platform for themselves.

No walkthrough telling them where to click. No leading them towards what they should notice. Just the product, the experience and the space to ask questions and share what stood out.

The result was a mix of technical observations, usability feedback and real-world perspectives that the Bako team can take back into the product. That’s the value of Beta Space, creating a space where founders can test with real people, listen closely and learn from what users actually experience.

Here are a few moments from yesterday’s session. 👇🏾
