Who are we?

Gopinion is a small Boston based start up with the goal of bridging the communication gap between businesses and their customers. Through the Gopinion mobile app, users fill out micro-surveys (max 20 seconds), and select an instant reward from either the business they reviewed or any other business in our system. The data from these micro-surveys is collected on the individual business owner's web dashboard where they can engage with the users through our app.

What stage are we?

We are currently in Alpha testing. We have an app in the app store, and are currently testing a proof-of-concept in 15 locations around the Copley and Harvard Square areas. We have businesses such as Flour Bakery, Burger King, Dependable Cleaners, and the Duck Tours among others. We are in the final stages of a beta version of our product which is set to release in late September, with the Harvard University Dining Services (15 locations in Harvard Square) ready to start with us when we release our new app.

What do we need?

We need smart, driven developers who want to intern with us over the course of the year. We are flexible in terms of part time positions and compensation, but most importantly we are looking for people who believe in our product and want to take part in a brand new start-up in the very early stages.
