Biovity offers a waitlist feature for collecting early interest from professionals and organizations before full platform launch or for access to new features.

​
Waitlist page

The waitlist is accessible at /lista-espera (Spanish for “waiting list”) and allows users to register their interest in the platform.
The waitlist feature is designed for pre-launch campaigns or limited beta access to new features.

​
Registration types

The waitlist supports two types of registrations:

Professionals

Scientists, researchers, and students looking for job opportunities

Organizations

Companies and institutions seeking to hire scientific talent

​
Waitlist form

Users provide the following information when joining the waitlist:

  field TEXT,

);

ALTER TABLE waitlist 
  ADD CONSTRAINT waitlist_email_key UNIQUE (email);

​

Waitlist registrations are processed through the /api/waitlist endpoint: POST /api/waitlist Accepts registration data and stores it in the database.

  2. Expected timeline: Provide rough estimate of when access will be granted
  3. Regular updates: Keep waitlist engaged with progress updates
  4. Segmented communication: Different messaging for professionals vs. organizations
  5. Gradual rollout: Invite users in batches to manage onboarding capacity
