FAQ's

I'm trying to add co-founders to the cap table, but can only select myself. I can't go back to "Invite your founders" to see the status there. How do I resolve this?

You can complete the onboarding, just entering your own shares for now.

Once you have finished entering the initial details, you can head to the People menu to add your co-founders and then to the CapTable to add their shares.
