[Startups.com Customer Support](https://help.startups.com/knowledge/startups-com-customer-support?hsLang=en) # Can Other Founders See My Goal? ## Is my goal visible to other founders? The goals you add to your account are used to help personalize your experience and allow our team to better understand what you're working toward. Other founders and members of the Startups.com community cannot see the goal you've entered. Who can see my goal? Your goal is kept private from other founders and community members. It may be used internally by the Startups.com team to help provide more relevant guidance, resources, and support based on what you're trying to accomplish. For example, sharing that you're currently focused on raising capital can help us point you toward funding-related resources and support. Will my goal appear on my public profile? No. Your goal is **not displayed publicly on your founder profile** and is not something other founders can browse or view. You can update your goal as your priorities change without worrying about those changes being shared with other members. Why does Startups.com ask for my goal? Knowing what you're currently working toward helps us make your Startups.com experience more relevant to you. Your goal gives us context about where you are in your startup journey and what type of support may be most useful. **In short: Your goal is private and is not visible to other founder** - [Startups.com Customer Support](https://help.startups.com/knowledge/startups-com-customer-support?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Account Subscription](https://help.startups.com/knowledge/startups-com-customer-support?hsLang=en#account-subscription) - [Membership Features](https://help.startups.com/knowledge/startups-com-customer-support?hsLang=en#membership-features) - [Investor Matching](https://help.startups.com/knowledge/startups-com-customer-support?hsLang=en#investor-matching) - [Perks and Benefits](https://help.startups.com/knowledge/startups-com-customer-support?hsLang=en#perks-and-benefits) - [Startups.com Site Content Help](https://help.startups.com/knowledge/startups-com-site-content-help?hsLang=en#main-content) - [General](https://help.startups.com/knowledge/startups-com-site-content-help?hsLang=en#general) - [Fundable](https://help.startups.com/knowledge/fundable?hsLang=en#main-content) - [General](https://help.startups.com/knowledge/fundable?hsLang=en#general) - [Getting Started on Fundable](https://help.startups.com/knowledge/fundable?hsLang=en#getting-started-on-fundable) - [Equity Campaigns](https://help.startups.com/knowledge/fundable?hsLang=en#equity-campaigns) - [Creating a Fundable Profile](https://help.startups.com/knowledge/fundable?hsLang=en#creating-a-fundable-profile) - [Investors](https://help.startups.com/knowledge/fundable?hsLang=en#investors) - [Legal](https://help.startups.com/knowledge/fundable?hsLang=en#legal) - [Payments & Fees](https://help.startups.com/knowledge/fundable?hsLang=en#payments-fees) - [Clarity.fm](https://help.startups.com/knowledge/clarity-fm?hsLang=en#main-content) - [General](https://help.startups.com/knowledge/clarity-fm?hsLang=en#general) - [Calls](https://help.startups.com/knowledge/clarity-fm?hsLang=en#calls) - [Member FAQs](https://help.startups.com/knowledge/clarity-fm?hsLang=en#member-faqs) - [Expert FAQs](https://help.startups.com/knowledge/clarity-fm?hsLang=en#expert-faqs) - [Privacy & Security](https://help.startups.com/knowledge/clarity-fm?hsLang=en#privacy-security) - [Payments & Fees](https://help.startups.com/knowledge/clarity-fm?hsLang=en#payments-fees) - [Getting Started on Clarity](https://help.startups.com/knowledge/clarity-fm?hsLang=en#getting-started-on-clarity) - [Your Clarity Account](https://help.startups.com/knowledge/clarity-fm?hsLang=en#your-clarity-account) - [Frequently Asked Questions](https://help.startups.com/knowledge/clarity-fm?hsLang=en#frequently-asked-questions) - [Bizplan](https://help.startups.com/knowledge/bizplan?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Customizing Plan](https://help.startups.com/knowledge/bizplan?hsLang=en#customizing-plan) - [Getting Started](https://help.startups.com/knowledge/bizplan?hsLang=en#getting-started) - [Managing Account](https://help.startups.com/knowledge/bizplan?hsLang=en#managing-account) - [Finance](https://help.startups.com/knowledge/bizplan?hsLang=en#finance) - [Support](https://help.startups.com/knowledge/bizplan?hsLang=en#support) - [Companies](https://help.startups.com/knowledge/bizplan?hsLang=en#companies) - [Publishing](https://help.startups.com/knowledge/bizplan?hsLang=en#publishing) - [Launchrock](https://help.startups.com/knowledge/launchrock?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Custom URLs / DNS Settings / Using Your Domain](https://help.startups.com/knowledge/launchrock?hsLang=en#custom-urls-dns-settings-using-your-domain) - [General Questions](https://help.startups.com/knowledge/launchrock?hsLang=en#general-questions) - [Getting Started on Launchrock](https://help.startups.com/knowledge/launchrock?hsLang=en#getting-started-on-launchrock) - [Video Tutorials](https://help.startups.com/knowledge/launchrock?hsLang=en#video-tutorials) - [Your Launchrock Account](https://help.startups.com/knowledge/launchrock?hsLang=en#your-launchrock-account) - [Payments & Fees](https://help.startups.com/knowledge/launchrock?hsLang=en#payments-fees) - [Blog](https://help.startups.com/blog) [![Chill listening crop-3](https://help.startups.com/hs-fs/hubfs/startupscom-logo-420.png?width=84&height=24&name=startupscom-logo-420.png "Chill listening crop-3")](https://startups.com) Copyright © 2026, Startups.com
