Help us launch Lagoon at UCSB.
We're looking for 20 Gauchos who already make the campus more fun — Greek life, RAs, club leads, IV creators, the people whose stories you actually watch. You bring the network. We bring the app, the hoodies, and the dinners.
Applications close when we hit 20. No filler — we read every one ourselves.
Lagoon hoodie
Embroidered. Ships the week you're in.
A trackable referral link
Every install is yours. Real-time dashboard.
Top 3 / quarter = $50 each
Plus paid IV dinners with the team.
Real rewards, not points.
We're not running an MLM. Captains get tangible stuff for tangible work, and the relationship lasts as long as you're on campus.

You're probably a captain if…
We don't need follower counts. We need real network density.
- ✓You're plugged into a UCSB community — Greek house, club, dorm, team, friend group.
- ✓Your friends actually take your recs (apps, restaurants, classes).
- ✓You've been at UCSB at least one quarter — you know the rhythm of campus.
- ✓You'd say yes to free food, hoodies, and the chance to shape what students use daily.

FAQ
Do I have to post a certain amount?+
No quotas. We track real installs from your link — that's the only metric. Share when it feels natural.
Is there a commitment?+
One quarter minimum. You can drop out anytime by emailing us — no awkward exit.
Do I get paid?+
Top 3 referrers each quarter get a $50 Apple gift card. Everyone gets the hoodie, the dinners, and early access — those are flat perks.
Is this paid promotion / do I have to disclose?+
If you post about Lagoon as a captain you should mention you're part of the program — same as any creator/brand relationship. We'll give you the language.
Can I apply if I just transferred?+
Yes — transfer captains are great because you bring a different network. We just want at least one quarter on campus first.
