How to Write Better Signup Instructions for Your Startup

Vague instructions cause rejections, disputes and wasted time for both sides.

Write a checklist, not a paragraph

Three to five short steps, in order.

Say what "done" looks like

"Created a workspace" is verifiable. "Explore the app" is not.

Tell people what you will check

If you verify by account email, say so up front.

Keep it under five minutes

Long requirements reduce the number of founders willing to start an exchange with you.
