Agaao Early Adopters' Program: Building the Foundation Together
By Agaao Team
Every meaningful movement begins quietly—with a few people, a simple idea, and the courage to start.
Agaao (agaao.org) is starting modestly, by design. Our first version of the website includes only the most essential feature: the ability to share a story. No bells and whistles. No distractions. Just space for voices that matter.
The Early Adopters' Program (EAP) is our invitation to a small group of thoughtful contributors to help shape Agaao at its very beginning.
Why Agaao exists
Agaao is a place to collect, preserve, and reflect on stories of resilience—particularly those of students in Bangladesh who came of age in challenging times. These are stories of obstacles faced and overcome amid post-war realities, fragile infrastructure, limited resources, and uncertainty.
Yet dreams took shape anyway.
We believe these stories are deeply inspiring. Individually, they are personal memories. Collectively, they form a living record of how a generation persevered, adapted, and moved forward when circumstances offered little comfort.
What it means to be an early adopter
Early adopters are not just users of Agaao—they are its first collaborators.
As part of the program, we invite each early adopter to contribute one story within a month of joining. The story can be reflective, challenging, hopeful, or quietly powerful—but above all, authentic.
In return, early adopters will have a unique opportunity to influence the direction of the project, including:
- Helping prioritize future features
- Providing input on community guidelines and moderation practices
- Optionally volunteering to support curation or site upkeep
- Choosing to take on admin roles, if interested
At this early stage, stories can be published without moderation. As we approach a broader release on March 26, moderation will be introduced thoughtfully, with structures shaped in collaboration with early adopters.
A human-scale commitment
The Early Adopters' Program is intentionally lightweight. Beyond contributing a story, all involvement is voluntary. There is no pressure, no quotas, and no expectation to take on more than you comfortably can.
If something excites you and fits within your ability, you're welcome to step in—enthusiastically and on your own terms.
Looking ahead
One of our long-term goals is to compile these stories into a publication—possibly a book. The first edition will take time and care. Building the right processes will require patience, collaboration, and trust. Early adopters will play a meaningful role in that journey if they choose to.
Agaao will grow over time, but its roots will always be shaped by those who believed in it early.
If this vision resonates with you, we invite you to explore the site and consider becoming part of the foundation.
