FAQ ## Questions startups, investors and ecosystem bodies ask Do founders need a new app for each event? No. They install once and join each occasion with a code. Can investors and founders see different things? Yes. Investors and founders sit in separate groups, so pitch slots, notes and meeting requests reach only the right side. Is there a free option for small meet-ups? Free events with up to 300 registrations can run on the shared Sociana app. Can we sell demo-day tickets? Yes. Tickets are paid through Razorpay into your own account, and holders get a QR for the gate. ## Running a startup community? Tell us how many members and how many occasions a year.
