Getting started / Create your account

Create your account

Getting started on BuilderLab takes under two minutes. Here's what to expect.

Sign up

Go to the Sign up page and create your account with an email and password. No social login is required — a simple email works fine.

Complete your profile

After signing up, you'll be prompted to complete your profile. This is important: project owners use your profile to decide whether to accept your join request.

  • Skills — add the specific skills you bring (Python, React, SQL, etc.)
  • Domain — choose your primary domain (Data Science, Software Engineering, etc.)
  • Level — be honest about where you are; it helps teams form well
  • Bio — a short description of what you're looking to build and learn

Profiles with completed skills and a bio get significantly more join request approvals. Take 5 minutes to fill it out properly.

Explore the feed

Once your profile is set, you'll land on the project feed. Browse open projects, read their descriptions, and find ones that match your skills and interests.

Verify your email

You'll receive a confirmation email after signing up. Click the link to verify your address — this is required before you can join or post projects.
