NewNavi × FIFA World Cup 2026 NYC — neighborhood guides, watch spots & fan zonesExplore Navigators Program

Help us build the future of Navi.

We're looking for pioneers to help us shape Navi from the inside. Early access and an insider's seat.

What is a Navigator?

Join the founding crew.

Navigators are insiders, helping build Navi in direct partnership with the founding team. We're recruiting deeply engaged users who genuinely care about discovering their city, have opinions about where to go, and want to help shape a product that makes that easier for everyone.

You'll get early access to everything we build and your feedback will directly impact our product.

We're prioritizing NYC, but if you're located elsewhere and want in, we want to hear from you, too.

"It's rare to use a product where you can actually feel the team listening. Navi's that."

Is this you?

You're a Navigator if...

• You have opinions about which neighborhoods are underrated
• Your friends ask you where to go
• You know the difference between a good recommendation and a sponsored one
• You want to be part of building something
• You believe navigation apps could be so much better and that maps should be personalized, not one-size-fits-all

We're looking for people who genuinely love their city and want a direct line to the team building the app that helps everyone experience it better.
