How the platform is organised
Genkibo groups usage into separate areas:
- Investor area: browse offers, invest and track positions.
- Company area: manage projects, funding offers, documents and financial follow-up.
- Internal administration (Genkibo teams): platform operations (outside the scope of this end-user guide).
Once signed in, you access the area that matches your account type. The sidebar groups screens in a logical order; labels may change with product updates.
Background services (messaging, activity tracking, etc.) keep day-to-day operations running. Sensitive operations may be logged for compliance.
For screen-by-screen detail, follow the documentation organised by menu.
