How do I set up my profile for success?

Your profile is like your digital business card to your fellow members. We recommend you fill in as many of the provided fields as possible. 

Here are some other tips to optimize the effectiveness of your profile:

1 – Put Your Full Name – to distinguish you from other members who may have the same first name, please put your full name on your profile page

2 – Include a Descriptive Headline – yes, you can use the headline to display your title, but if your title is something nondescript like “Founder” or "Coach," we highly recommend that you also include keywords to help others more quickly understand what you do and to improve search optimization for your profile.

For Example:

• Go from this: “Coach”
• To this: “Co-founder of Best Brands Consultancy. Coach for women-owned, early-stage startups in fintech.”
• Or from this: "CEO"
• To this: "CEO of Made Up Company – the only team you need for ABC and XYZ"

3 – Biography that shows your personality – we suggest keeping your bio short and sweet, but don’t be afraid to have fun with it and let people learn about who you are as a person. We’re all here to grow our businesses, but we’re here to make friends too! We also recommend using relevant keywords for your business throughout your bio as well to make you easier to find viavid bio searches (e.g. social media expert, e-commerce, agency, coach, fashion, etc.)

4 – Don't forget your location! – Entreprenistas LOVE getting together in person. To ensure nearby founders can find you, make sure to include your city and state in the location field. Try to avoid abbreviations or nicknames (like "the big apple" or "Cali"). Write out your location how someone would search for it on Googlegoogle, that's how you can be sure you'll appear in the majority of searches.

5 – You don’t have to link to everything...but do include the ones you do have! – okay, maybe you don’t have a TikTok yet or maybe X isn’t your thing. But, if you have a website, LinkedIn, and IG account we definitely recommend you include them in the provided fields on your profile page.

6 – Add a scheduling link to your bio – some of our most well- connected members make good use of scheduling platforms (such as Calendly, Doodle, or Zoom Scheduler) to help them quickly and easily build relationships with fellow Entreprenistas. Consider adding a meeting scheduler link to your profile and make it known that you're open to "coffee chats" and you'll meet so many new people without lifting a finger!
