Frequently Asked Questions

Most of our customers use aumentoo as their startup and knowledge database. Startups are added to aumentoo as a profile. In the profile you can add a wide range of data regarding the startup, like company data, financial data, social media channels, persons, activities, patent data, documents and more. If you wish to share an interesting startup with the whole community you can do this by promoting the regarding startup profile. Just open the newsfeed and promote the selected startup. The startup profile will then appear in the newsfeed of all users and they can interact with you by commenting or liking it.  In the case you only plan to share your thoughts about a special startup with one colleague you may forward the startup’s profile to him or her directly via chat.  Alternatively, if assessments for certain startup profiles need to be made you can send tasks to the responsibles. They will get an email and notification to assess the chosen profile.

Similar to the aforementioned promotion post you can share content via the newsfeed by creating posts and attaching documents to it. Posting these will mean spreading the content in your community. You can also like and comment posts of your colleagues interacting with them. Profiles can be easily shared with individual users, too, via one-to-one or group chat.
