Showcase your full startup journey in four sections
Your StartupPage profile goes beyond basic info. Four dedicated sections β My Startups, Experience, Investments, and Education β help founders, investors, and talent quickly understand your background, expertise, and track record.
Complete them after your basic profile setup to unlock the full platform value: publishing opportunities, appearing on leaderboards, and connecting with the right people.
Accessing Your Sections
All sections live in your Dashboard:
Each section has an edit mode with add, edit, and delete options. All changes appear in real time on your public profile.
π‘ Use these sections to build credibility: founders highlight ventures, investors show their portfolio, professionals display their career path, and everyone can showcase their education.
π My Startups
Showcase startups you've founded, co-founded, or work at.
How to add:
Go to My Startups
Click Create New or Link Startup
Fill in name, description, role, status, and metrics
Connect Stripe for revenue verification via the Verify section
What you can set for each startup:
Each startup gets a unique public URL (e.g. startupa.ge/startups/yourstartup) shareable across your networks.
π‘ This section powers Opportunities β some opportunity types require a linked startup. Add multiple startups if you're a serial founder.
πΌ Experience
Document your professional history to attract co-founders, investors, and roles.
How to add:
Go to Experience
Click + Add Experience
Fill in company, role, dates, and achievements
Tips for a strong experience section:
