What happens after I submit a Goal?

After you submit a Goal, it will be reviewed by our team. Once a decision is made, you will receive an email notification letting you know whether your Goal has been approved or rejected.

Will I be notified of the decision?

Yes. You will receive an email notification once your Goal has been reviewed, regardless of the outcome.

Approved

If your Goal is approved, it means it has met all the required criteria and is ready to be displayed on your Startups.com profile.

Once approved, your Goal will appear on your profile, allowing others who visit your profile to see what you are currently working toward.

Rejected

If your Goal is rejected, it means it did not meet the necessary requirements.

When a Goal is rejected, the notification email will include a note explaining the reason for the rejection. This will help you understand what needs to be corrected or updated before submitting it again.

What should I do after receiving the email?

• If approved — your Goal will appear on your Startups.com profile. You can then continue working through the recommended steps in your Game Plan.
• If rejected — review the feedback provided, make the necessary updates to your Goal, and resubmit it for review.
