How do I see and manage my followers?

Find active followers, check when they followed and choose their access. Review group settings and shared links before removing access.

Open Your followers to see who follows your startup, review their access and remove a follower.

Open Profile > Your followers. The list shows each active follower, when they started following and their access level. Where supplied, their name, title and firm appear together.

Use All, New this week or Approved by you to narrow the list. New this week covers the past seven days. A follow waiting for an account check or a free place will appear once it becomes active.

Your followers list with the Access menu and an Approved by you label.

Give a follower more access

Every follower starts with Follower access. Your default link provides the base view. Your follower settings add sections and documents to it. Until you save them, they add the chat on your profile and your AI Session. Approved by you can add more for an active follower whose investor account check has passed. In Privacy settings, pick Approved by you and use Preview, then choose Approved by you from the follower's access menu on the Followers tab.

The settings for each group decide what approval adds. A follower's view also includes active links the app has recorded them opening. These sources of access add together. To reduce what a follower can read, review their group settings and those links together. The follower row shows extra material available through recorded links.

To reduce access, review both the group settings and the links that add material. Moving someone back to Follower leaves material available through an active recorded link accessible.

An investor's connected AI uses the same section and document access rules as the profile page. Its view combines the group settings that apply to that investor and the eligible links available to them.

A default link that is switched off or requires an email blocks the Discovery view. Existing followers keep their group access, including the default link's sections and documents, through stealth and a blocked default link.

Remove a follower

Open their access menu and choose Remove follower. Read the confirmation carefully: removal is final, and that investor cannot follow this startup again.

Removal ends their follow. Check any links they still hold separately if you also want to close those ways of opening your profile. Stealth controls discovery; existing followers continue following when you turn it on.

Invite people to follow

Copy your profile link from the invitation area. Add it to an investor update, your email signature or the last slide of your deck. Check that the link opens and shows the material you intend to share.

Keep adding useful information as the company develops. Followers choose major updates or a private condition. You can see their follow and access level; their condition stays private.
