Invite Members

Add board members, assign roles and positions, and manage access to your board.

Once your board is set up, invite the people who need access — board members, investors, executives, and advisors.

Send an Invitation

  1. Go to Members in the sidebar
  2. Click Invite Member
  3. Enter the invitee's email address
  4. Select one or more board positions (see below)
  5. Click Send Invitation

The invitee receives an email with a link to join the board. They must sign up or log in with the invited email address.

Invite link

You can also copy the board's invite link and share it directly. Only people on the invite list can use the link — it won't work for anyone else.

Board Positions

Board positions describe a member's real-world role. You can assign multiple positions to one person:

Invitation throttling

Invitation emails are throttled to one per invitee per hour to prevent accidental spam.
