Each investor group can customize their own entrepreneur application process through the admin portal, including setting questions, required documents, and fees. Entrepreneurs apply through a customized form where they can enter their information and submit applications. If a fee is set, entrepreneurs provide payment details, but fees are waived if an investor invites the entrepreneur to a deal.

When an entrepreneur visits your group’s website and clicks on the link to apply, they will be asked to
sign up or log in.
1. Entrepreneurs that already have a Gust profile
If they already have a Gust startup profile and are logged in, the system will recognize them.
Otherwise, they will have the opportunity to log in. They will be brought to their existing startup
profile on Gust. From there, they can review their profile and answer any additional questions from
your group before they share their information.
2. Entrepreneurs that do not have a Gust profile yet
If the entrepreneur doesn't already have a Gust startup profile, then they will be prompted to sign up.
However, instead of being brought to Gust they will see your customized and branded form.
