Press Release
Loox launches Reviewers.com, the first product sampling platform built exclusively for Shopify brands
Tel Aviv, Israel, June 17th, 2026, FinanceWire
After a decade as the social proof leader trusted by 130,000 Shopify brands, Loox announces the public launch of Reviewers.com, a product sampling platform in the Shopify App Store that helps Shopify brands get high-quality video reviews at scale from a vetted community of everyday consumers.
Why It Matters
Consumer trust has never been lower due to the increase in synthetic content – AI-generated copy, fake reviews, and manufactured influencer content. Trust in brands is at an all-time low, and authentic social proof has never mattered more. Visual reviews build trust and convert browsers into buyers; they convert more than textual or photo reviews – but getting them in a consistent, scalable way has always been painfully hard. Not every customer has the setup, motivation, or time to record a high-quality video. Reviewers.com changes that.
How It Works
Reviewers.com connects Shopify brands with real, everyday consumers who are strictly screened for clear audio, good lighting, and on-camera presence before they can enter the community. It’s a predictable, scalable way to get high-quality, authentic video reviews on demand. Brands gift their products; reviewers post honest, authentic video reviews in return. Reviewers.com saves brands hundreds of hours spent on finding creators, coordinating shipping, and validating their content. Campaigns are created in just a few minutes, fully integrated into Shopify, and every review comes with full usage rights.
“The campaign was very easy to set up, the reviews came in quickly, and there were really good, thoughtful reviews,” said Nana Adwoa Denkyiraa, founder of Ayebea’s Sankofa Marketplace.
Key use cases
- Creating a steady stream of fresh video content for marketing and ads
- Seeding social proof for new product launches
- Keeping review widgets on product pages fresh and compelling
- Capturing seasonal content throughout the year
- Showcasing reviews from consumers who mirror the brand’s target audience
From the CEO
“After 10 years helping Shopify brands collect and display social proof, we kept seeing the same problem: brands know video reviews are the strongest way to build trust with visitors and turn browsers into buyers, but they have no reliable way to get them. Reviewers.com solves that – authentically, affordably, and at scale,” said Yoni Elbaz, CEO and Co-founder of Loox.
How is it different
Unlike Influencer and UGC Platforms, Reviewers.com is purpose-built for honest product reviews – not polished influencer content or scripted UGC. Reviewers.com helps brands collect more compelling content by delivering reviews that are:
- FTC compliant – transparently disclosed, no grey areas
- Authentic and unscripted – real people sharing honest opinions
- High-quality – reviewers are screened before joining, and each review submitted is screened for audio, lighting, and content.
- Fully licensed – brands receive complete usage rights to every video.
Who are the Reviewers, and how are they vetted
Reviewers are real, everyday consumers who love trying new products and sharing honest opinions. Every Reviewer in our community is carefully vetted. Before participating, each candidate submits a sample video that we personally review for authenticity, fluent English, clear sound, and good lighting. Only those who meet our high standards are approved as Reviewers. As they join campaigns, we apply the same criteria to every video they submit, ensuring quality is maintained and continually improved.
Availability and Pricing
Reviewers.com is available today in the Shopify App Store to any US-based Shopify brand. Pricing is based on a monthly subscription with no long-term commitment. The monthly subscription is $150, including one campaign, with additional campaigns available for $150 per campaign. Each campaign can include up to 10 items gifted. Each merchant receives a 30-day free trial, which includes one free campaign.
Readers can visit Reviewers.com to learn more and to start your first campaign free.

Mita TechTalks Convenes 125 Investors and Builders in Punta Mita for an Invite-Only Summit on Bitcoin, AI, and Energy
Punta Mita, Mexico, June 16th, 2026, FinanceWire
Running October 25–27, the summit pairs beachfront sessions and private villa workshops built to turn three days of conversation into strategies attendees can act on.
Mita TechTalks, an invite-only summit on the convergence of Bitcoin, artificial intelligence, and energy, will gather 125 guests October 25–27, 2026, in Punta Mita, Mexico. The summit brings together high-net-worth investors, family office allocators, corporate leaders, and builders for three days of oceanside sessions, private workshops, and unhurried conversations along the most exclusive stretch of Mexico’s Pacific coast.
Sessions take place at the Kupuri Beach Club, an oceanview, open-air venue inside the private, residential community of Punta Mita, home to the Four Seasons, St. Regis, Montage, and Pendry resorts and two Jack Nicklaus Signature golf courses. The agenda opens with a beachfront welcome dinner, followed by full sessions and private-villa breakout workshops, evening dinners under the palapa, and a closing afternoon of Jack Nicklaus Signature golf or ocean sports. Because guests and speakers stay within the same community for the full three days, the schedule gives way to long, off-record conversations, and the chance to build authentic relationships with the people rather than collect badges.
Confirmed speakers include Jeff Booth, founder of ego death capital and author of The Price of Tomorrow; Lisa Hough, founder of BTM Energy; Sam Callahan, Director of Strategy and Research at OranjeBTC; Andre Neves, ZBD Co-Founder & CTO and more. Additional speakers will be announced in the coming weeks.
The summit is built on a simple premise: Bitcoin, artificial intelligence, and energy are no longer separate stories. Bitcoin is moving onto corporate balance sheets and into treasury strategy, AI is working its way into finance and the Bitcoin economy, and the power demands of both AI data centers and Bitcoin mining are redrawing the energy map. Programming spans three tracks, covering macro and corporate strategy, energy, and AI, where speakers and guests dig into how the three feed one another.
“Technology is inherently deflationary, and AI is about to accelerate that beyond anything we’ve seen. The real question for investors and companies is how you position for a world where the cost of almost everything trends toward zero,” said Jeff Booth, founder of ego death capital and author of The Price of Tomorrow. “In a fast paced world, the most meaningful breakthroughs happen when you slow down. That’s what Mita TechTalks is built for, and it’s why Bitcoin, AI, and energy belong in the same room, in a place like Punta Mita.”
Mita TechTalks is organized by Lynne Bairstow and Israel Muñoz, partners at Base Layer Advisors and co-hosts of the Build With Bitcoin podcast. Bairstow began her career on Wall Street at Merrill Lynch before moving to Mexico, where she founded MITA Ventures in 2012 and has spent more than two decades backing early-stage tech across Mexico and Latin America; she is also a co-founder of La Casa de Satoshi, a Bitcoin and freedom-tech hub in Mexico City. Muñoz co-founded an early cross-border payments startup and helped launch 500 Startups’ Miami operation, and now invests in early-stage Bitcoin infrastructure ventures.
“Some of the best moments at these gatherings happen away from the sessions. They happen at dinner, walking the beach, in a villa after the sessions end,” said Bairstow. “When a small group of people share the same place for three days, you leave having actually gotten to know the people at the forefront of capital market innovation.”
“Bitcoin, AI, and energy are the technologies that will redefine the global economy,” said Muñoz. “We wanted to bring the people at the center of that shift together somewhere they could actually talk, and there’s no better place to do it than in Punta Mita.”
Registration is open by application at 2026.mitatechtalks.com. Passes are released in tiers starting at $2,750 and rising as each phase sells out, and the summit is capped at 125 guests; once that number is reached, registration closes. Every pass includes full access to sessions and workshops, all meals, and evening events. Punta Mita is located 40 minutes from Puerto Vallarta International Airport.
This year’s Mita TechTalks is supported by ArcadiaB as Platinum Partner and Punta Mita as Host Partner, with Base Layer Advisors and Build With Bitcoin as Organizing Partners and Forager and Gannett Trust as Bronze Sponsors. If you are interested in sponsoring, please contact lynne@baselayeradvisors.com.
About Mita TechTalks
Mita TechTalks is an invite-only summit exploring the intersection of capital markets, Bitcoin, artificial intelligence, and energy. Held in the private, gated community of Punta Mita on Mexico’s Pacific coast, it is designed for wealth managers, family offices, corporate executives, and industry leaders shaping the future of capital. Organized by Base Layer Advisors and Build With Bitcoin, the summit returns October 25–27, 2026. For more information, users can visit 2026.mitatechtalks.com.
