I’ve been working with Lightster since their earliest days, and they have proven to be an invaluable partner in our work at PMF Studio. Most senior product people know that the hardest, and the most unpredictable, part of user research is recruiting. It always takes longer than you expect, it’s tedious so few people take joy in doing it, and quality is hard to maintain. Lightster managed to take away this headache for a number of our projects, as they deliver to spec quickly and efficiently. I’ve used them across most of our projects in 2023 and 2024, and they’ll continue to be my go to when we need to recruit across both B2B and B2C use cases.

Compared to other sources we have used to target potential customers for feedback, (UserInterviews, Respondent.io), Lightster is much better at targeting and getting us people able to provide valuable feedback.

Product development is a very hard task, especially as a newly launched startup. You want access to a pool of potential customers to come in and get feedback. Often times the ones you do acquire naturally don't want to give this feedback. Lighter has been instrumental for us in talking to customers, hearing their pain points around investing and building a product that fit their needs. We continue to come back throughout our product development lifecycle to access willing new testers for our investment app.

I highly recommend Lightster. The quality of the contacts Lightster provided was outstanding. Each individual I interviewed possessed deep knowledge and expertise in demand planning, allowing me to gain valuable insights and perspectives on the field. I was impressed by the diversity and relevance of the connections made available to me - from demand planning to merchandising. Overall, I highly recommend Lightster to anyone seeking efficient and valuable user interviews in their respective fields.

Lighster has helped our team save time and access insights quickly. Overall, it has been a super helpful tool in our discovery sprints!

Lightster is a bridge to crucial insights. Their ability to connect us with restaurant owners, managers, and culinary enthusiasts has been excellent. Their dedication to continually provide us with new customer connections is impressive. This proactive approach has empowered us to stay ahead of the curve, making informed decisions to improve our services. Simply put, our growth trajectory has definitely been positively influenced by Lightster’s platform.

Baoba team was very happy with the Lightster solution! Their platform has been supporting us in validating new product directions by matching us with professionals working in the insurance industry whom we could interview. The process was easy and we received 5 quality matches to conduct interviews with - Lightster has contributed to our validation process tremendously! I would recommend to use the solution to all startup founders whether it’s seeking to validate product directions or a pivot, conduct ongoing solution validation or simply matching you with relevant advisors!

Lightster was a great way to conduct user testing before writing a single code line. With Lighster, I was able to talk to more than ten people within a week to learn more about their WFH dynamics. What impressed me the most is that not only was I able to find users that fit our criteria but also the fact that I was able to talk to them directly through their app. I highly recommend Lightster to anyone looking to gain insights into their market.

Analyzing new things from different perspectives is one of the good ways to learn. I recommend PMs to use this opportunity to help and learn!

At OpenVC, we believe in the power of co-creation and Lightster's platform provides the perfect opportunity for users to contribute to the development of the newest products while being the first to try them out. We are excited to collaborate with Lightster and bring more value to our community through this partnership.

Before Lightster, I had to pay thousands for an external firm to find potential participants and then pay again for gift cards. With Lightster, I get to choose the participants and only pay once… by the minute!

Lightster helped us better understand the problems our potential users face, which led us to identify new opportunities to solve their problems. The insights were invaluable to us as we had been under a lot of pressure to deliver results as part of a pre-accelerator we were in

I was able to dedicate the time I was saving to other business needs, which was an incredible value-add.

Lightster saved us so much time by connecting us to the ideal customer profile and made the process so simple!

Working with Lightster was incredible. They found us a variety of folks to interview on a super quick timeline who met our criteria, and were dedicated to ensuring we reached our research goals. We'd happily work with them again and encourage others to check them out!

Lightster made it incredibly easy for us to listen to our users by giving us a continuous stream of user feedback.
