# Create Your GetBuilo Account and Start Building Free

> Sign up for GetBuilo in under 2 minutes. Start with a free account—no credit card required—and begin validating your first business idea immediately.

Getting started with GetBuilo takes less than two minutes and costs nothing. Your free account gives you immediate access to the core platform—including Idea Validation, Business Model, and Market Research—so you can start testing whether your idea has real potential before you commit to a paid plan. No credit card required. No lengthy setup. Just your email address, a password, and a business idea you want to explore.

## Setting Up Your Account

<Steps>
  ### Go to getbuilo.com and Click 'Get Started Free'

  Open your browser and navigate to [getbuilo.com](https://getbuilo.com). You will see the 'Get Started Free' button prominently on the homepage. Click it to open the sign-up flow. The entire registration process happens in a single screen—no multi-page forms, no lengthy questionnaires before you can get in.

  ### Enter Your Email and Create a Password (or Sign In with Google)

  Enter your email address and choose a strong password, or click **Continue with Google** to sign up instantly using your existing Google account. Google sign-in is the fastest option and skips email verification entirely. If you use email and password, choose something you will remember—GetBuilo does not currently support SSO for free-tier accounts, but you can always reset your password from the login screen.

  ### Verify Your Email

  If you signed up with an email and password, check your inbox for a verification email from GetBuilo. Click the **Verify my email** link inside. The link expires after 24 hours, so verify promptly. If you do not see the email within a few minutes, check your spam or promotions folder, or click 'Resend verification email' on the GetBuilo sign-in page. Google sign-in users skip this step entirely.

  ### Complete the Quick Onboarding

  After verifying your email, GetBuilo walks you through a brief onboarding sequence. You will enter your first name (so the Founder Coach can address you personally), tell GetBuilo what kind of business you are exploring, and indicate your current stage—first idea, early planning, or ready to launch. This takes under a minute and helps GetBuilo tailor your initial experience. You can update all of these details later in your account settings.

  ### Land on Your Dashboard

  You are in. Your GetBuilo dashboard loads with a welcome prompt from the Founder Coach and a prompt to create your first project. Your credit balance appears in the top-right corner, and the full navigation is available immediately. Start exploring the platform or jump straight into your first project.

<Note>
  The free plan gives you access to core GetBuilo features with a limited monthly AI credit allocation. You can create **one business project**, run **Idea Validation**, explore the **Business Model** module, and access your **Founder Journey dashboard**. Modules like the Website Builder, full Competitor Analysis, and Marketing Strategy are available on paid plans. You can see the full feature comparison on the [Pricing Plans](/getting-started/pricing-plans) page.
</Note>

<Tip>
  If you plan to collaborate with a co-founder or invite teammates to your projects in the future, sign up with your business or work email rather than a personal address. Team features on paid plans use your account email as the primary identifier, and switching later requires a support request. Using a business email from day one keeps your setup clean.
