Use Invite a founder in Following to create a link you can send to a startup you want to follow.
An invitation gives the founder a way to join SeedForge and upload their deck. Once the deck is ready, SeedForge can create your follow and show the startup's progress in your list.
Create and send an invitation
Open Following in your investor account.
Choose Invite a founder, enter the startup's name and choose Create invite.
Copy the invitation link or the drafted message.
Send it to the founder through your usual conversation.
SeedForge prepares the link and wording. You choose where to send it. Use a name that makes the invitation easy to recognise when you return to your list.
Check what happened
The invitation stays visible while the founder joins and prepares their profile. Joining and uploading a ready deck are separate steps. A follow starts after the deck is ready, subject to your account check.
Open Following to check the resulting follow and your account check.
Follow invited startups
Invited startups never count toward the follow limit.
Remove an unused invitation
You can remove an invitation while it is waiting for the founder. Its link then stops working. An invitation the founder has already joined stays in the record.
For an active follow, use Stop following on the startup. The invitation and the follow have their own controls.
