Creating Your Account

Updated 2026-07-09 · Prospect

Creating an account takes a few minutes: enter your name and email, agree to the Terms and Privacy Policy, set a password, and confirm your email if asked. Then onboarding begins.

Setting up your Genius Networking account is a short, straightforward form. There's no social login and nothing to connect. Just your own information.

What you'll need

  1. Go to /signup and enter your first name, last name, and email. Add a phone number if you'd like. It's optional.
  2. Check the legal-agreement box. This is required, and it links out to our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy if you want to read them first.
  3. Set a password: at least 8 characters, with one uppercase letter, one lowercase letter, and one number. No special character is required.
  4. Submit the form. If your project requires email confirmation, you'll see a 'Check your email' screen with a 'Resend confirmation email' button in case it doesn't arrive.
  5. Once you're in, onboarding starts right away: that's the next step before your first introductions.

If you try to sign up with an email that's already registered, you'll see: 'An account with this email already exists. Sign in to continue your setup, or reset your password if needed.' There's no sign-in button on that screen. Head to /login to continue.
