How do I create a startup profile?

Log in to your accelerate account here : https://accelerate.masschallenge.org/accounts/login/

To create your Startup, click the grey "Create New Startup" button on the left hand side of the page. This will direct you to a form where you can fill out information for your Startup Profile.

This page is where you must fill out information about your Startup in order to complete your Startup Profile.

• Please note, all fields with an asterisk (*) are required in order to register
• Policy Check Boxes must be checked

Something to note while creating your Startup Profile.

Your Startup Profile is always visible to staff and judges. We recommend making it publicly visible so anyone in the MassChallenge network can learn about your startup.

To do so, set the Visibility Mode to Public.

If you choose Stealth, your profile will only be visible to MassChallenge Staff and Judges.

After you have completed filling out your Startup Profile, please make sure the required checkbox is checked and then click on, "Save Startup Profile".

Once you have created your new Startup, you will be directed to the page seen below.

From here you can select the MassChallenge Program that you would like to apply to.

Please note: Only MassChallenge Programs that are OPEN will appear here.

From this page you can:

• Apply to open MassChallenge Programs
• Monitor your progress on any Program application
• Manage your Startup in the following ways
  • Edit your Startup Profile
  • Change Visibility Mode
  • Add or Edit Team Members
  • Preview Your Profile

If you have applied to multiple Programs with the same Startup, they will all appear on the individual Startup Dashboard.

You have now completed your Startup Profile on the Accelerate platform.
