How do I add team members to my startup profile?
Adding team members to your Startup is fairly simple.
Important
You must be an administrator for your startup in order to add or remove team members.
First, navigate to the appropriate Startup Dashboard.
Your startup dashboard is unique to each individual startup that you create. You only need to create a startup profile once, after that it's as simple as updating it when you want to apply to a new Program or want to share the progress your company has been making.
From your Startups Dashboard, click on "Team" in the top navigation.
Here you will see a list of the current team members for your Startup.
If you were the user who created the Startup, you will be listed as the administrator by default. You can change this at any time.
Your startup must always have an administrator.
Click the blue,"Add Team Member" button to begin adding a new member to your team.
Fill out team member information
Begin filling out your team members information. Any fields marked with a red asterisk are required information.
Please note: For email, if your team member already has an accelerate account, use that email! If they do not, they will be asked to create one when they receive the email request to join your startup team.
Profile Pictures
When uploading a profile picture, please make sure that it meets the requirements.
- png or jpg
- up to 2MB
- Suggested <400px on short side
When it uploads, you will see a small preview of the current picture. To remove, click the red, "Remove profile picture" link below the image.
Personal social media
While not necessary, we encourage including this information so that MassChallenge Experts can get the best possible view on you and your company.
Please note: For Twitter handle, only the handle "@xyz" is needed, not a full URL
Administrator Privileges
Administrator privileges allow your team members the following access
- to edit the startup profile
- edit/add/remove team members
- review judge feedback
- edit and submit applications
- download your submitted application as a PDF
- view Mentors and Goals (For finalists)
Here you see the Administrator switch toggled to the 'OFF' position. Click to toggle it to the 'ON' position.
When you have completed the form, click the blue,"Add Team Member" button to send your team member a confirmation email.
Once you have completed these steps your team page will display the new addition. While the system waits for the new user to complete the confirmation by clicking the link within the confirmation email you will see a grey button at the bottom of their profile card that you can use to resend the confirmation email if needed.
Confirmation
Once you have completed adding your team mates, they will receive a confirmation email from MassChallenge inviting them to join your startup team.
Following the link within that email will allow them to finish creating their account.
