Requirements

Free account as an entrepreneur/founder at gust.com/signup/entrepreneurs
Signup asks for startup name, whether the startup is incorporated, how far along it is, and the city where it's located
Publishing is optional: an unpublished private profile can still be submitted directly to investors; publishing is what creates the public directory listing

Founder name and account email
Startup name, incorporation status, stage, and city
Company profile content: executive summary, team info, pitch materials (kept private by default)
Decide deliberately whether to publish - publishing exposes a limited public view and is Google-indexed

Sign up at https://gust.com/signup/entrepreneurs and complete the startup questions
Build the Gust Company Profile (story, progress, diligence materials)
Use the publish option on the profile to list it in Gust's public company directory
Optionally submit the profile directly to investor groups from their Gust profile pages

Published profiles ARE indexed by Google - company name, founder names, and management team names can surface in search
Only a limited public view is shown (contact info, executive summary, documents, financials, pitch deck stay private) - but investors in Gust's Group Investor Platform can request full access
Companies located in Boston, New York, or London are additionally surfaced on Gust-powered hub sites (starthub.org, digital.nyc, tech.london)
Publishing is not required to use Gust - don't publish if the goal is only a directory listing and you want minimal exposure

The company appears in Gust's public directory at gust.com/search and its limited public profile page is viewable without login
