Here’s the deal.

For UCSB students who have spent at least one quarter on campus. Share when it feels natural, with no posting quotas. We’re recruiting a cohort of 20.

  • Free Lagoon hoodie

    Embroidered, terra/cream colorway. You get it the day you're accepted.

  • Paid team dinner / quarter

    Free food with the founders + the other captains. IV spots, no agenda.

  • $50 Apple gift card

    Top 3 referrers each quarter. Tracked automatically via your link.

  • Secret features early

    You see new releases two weeks before the rest of campus. Feedback gets shipped.

  • Direct line to the team

    Private group chat. Pitch features, flag bugs, vote on roadmap. We actually listen.

    Gold flair on your profile + a permanent shoutout on the app's About page.
