## How to create a Wefunder account

Welcome! Getting started on Wefunder is quick and easy. Whether you're a first-time investor or have some experience, this guide will walk you through each step to create your new Wefunder account.

### Step 1: Head to the Sign-Up Page

Go to **wefunder.com/continue** to start creating your account.

### Step 2: Choose Your Sign-Up Method

You have four options:

- **Email** – Enter your email and create a password
- **Google** – Sign up using your Google account
- **Facebook** – Sign up using your Facebook account
- **Apple** – Sign up using your Apple account

Using Google, Facebook, or Apple is the quickest way to get started. We'll pull in your basic info automatically.

### Step 3: Complete Your Profile (If Using Email)

If you manually signed up with your email, you'll see the next page asking for:
- Your email address
- A password (make it strong!)
- Your first name
- Your last name

Once you've filled those in, click the blue **'Sign up'** button at the bottom.

### Step 4: Set Up Your Account

After signing up, you'll be logged in and see prompts to complete your account setup. This includes:

- **Verify your identity** – We'll ask for some basic info to confirm who you are
- **Tell us about your investing interests** – This helps us show you opportunities that match what you're looking for

You don't have to do everything at once. You can complete these at your own pace.

### Need a Break?

If you need to step away, just click the **'Save & exit'** button in the top right corner. Your progress is saved, and you can pick up where you left off whenever you're ready.
