There are so many untold stories in your camera roll — we want to help you unlock them. BEAM is a new photo-sharing app built by the team behind Ditto (social notes app, 100k+ downloads, live in 13+ colleges across the US) launching Summer 2026.
We built BEAM for the generation that values authentic documentation, unique perspectives, and has grown tired of the performance that often surrounds sharing on other social platforms. The ideal early BEAM Scout is someone who knows their city inside and out.
We are building the product in close collaboration with a small, highly intentional community. Every detail, from how content is shared to how it’s experienced, is shaped in conversation with the people setting the standard on the platform.
BEAM Scouts are a hand-selected group of tastemakers in NYC, LA, and Austin who set the cultural standard for what good content on BEAM looks and feels like.
This is not a passive role. Scouts establish the tone of the platform: what is worth capturing, how it’s framed, and why it matters. When new users join BEAM, the first impression of the product is shaped by Scout content. That means posting the restaurant you love, a perfect day in your city, the trip you don't want to forget, the recipe you actually made. You're not just a user — you're the standard.
Beyond posting, Scouts work directly with the BEAM team to shape the product as it gets built. We're early enough that your feedback actually changes things, and we take that seriously.
In return, Scouts receive early and priority access to BEAM experiences, opportunities to host and shape events in their city, and access to a highly curated network of peers in your city.
