How to get started on TokenRoster

Getting your startup assessed on TokenRoster takes four steps: create your profile, add your company to the registry, upload your documents, and run a report against a scoring framework. Your first assessment is free — a report credit is granted when you sign up. This guide walks through each step and what to expect along the way.

1. Create your profile

Sign in from the Get started button. Login works with an email address or a wallet — there is no password to manage. After signing in you land on your dashboard, which shows a getting-started checklist covering the same steps as this guide.

From the dashboard, open Manage → Profile and fill in your public founder profile: your name, photo, a short bio, and social links. This profile appears in the People directory and is how institutions reviewing your reports see who is behind the company.

2. Add your company

Open Manage → Company. There are two paths:

• Create a new company. A three-step wizard collects the basics: name, description, website, industry, and address. You can start with just a name and fill in the rest later.
• Claim an existing entry. If your company is already listed in the registry — added by an admin or imported from public sources — claim it to take ownership and manage updates yourself.

Once your company is reviewed, it appears in the public directory with its own detail page. You can also add team members under Manage → Team, which links their profiles to the company page.

3. Build your data room

Open Manage → Documents and upload the documents that describe your business: pitch deck, financial statements, cap table, product overview — whatever you would send an investor. PDF, plain-text, and markdown files are supported.

The data room serves two purposes:

• It feeds your assessments. When you run a report, you choose which documents to include, and the analysis is grounded in what they actually say. More complete documents produce more useful reports.
• It is shareable on your terms. You can mint a read-only share link that gives anyone with the URL access to the documents and reports you have marked as shared — useful for investor outreach without email attachments.

4. Run your first report

Open Reports and start a run:

1. Pick a framework. Browse open programs (published by accelerators, economic development organizations, and funds — submitting shares your report with the program owner) or plain scoring frameworks (the report is for you alone).
2. Pick your company.
3. Select documents from your data room to include. The most recent document of each type is preselected.
4. Run it. The run consumes one report credit; your first credit is included with signup — additional credits are available on pricing.

The finished report is a structured, scored assessment of your company against the framework's dimensions — where you stand, what the evidence supports, and where the gaps are. Reports stay in your account, and you can share individual reports the same way you share your data room.

What to do next

• Fill the gaps the report identifies. The dimension-level findings tell you which documents or metrics are missing; updating your data room and re-running produces a directly comparable result.
• Apply to programs. If you scored well against a program's framework, your submission is already in front of that institution — program owners review incoming reports in their submissions view.
• Keep your listing current. Your company page is public and indexed; an up-to-date description and team list is the version of your company that searchers and reviewers find.
