Create an Account

Getting started with HolyShift takes about 60 seconds. Here's how to set up your account and start validating your idea.

Sign up

1. Go to holyshift.ai and click Get Started
2. Choose your sign-up method:
3. Email — enter your email address and create a password
4. Google — sign in with your Google account for one-click setup
5. If you signed up with email, check your inbox for a verification email and click the confirmation link
6. Choose a name for your workspace (this is your team's home — you can change it later)
7. You're in. You'll land on your dashboard, ready to create your first project

What happens next

After signing up, you're on the Free plan by default. This gives you access to a go-to-market hypothesis, real market conversations, strategic direction insights, a competitor snapshot, top risks and opportunities, and a market white-space preview — enough to start exploring whether your idea has real potential.

When you're ready for a full validation cycle with hundreds of real market conversations, you can upgrade from your workspace settings.

Tips

• Use a real email address — validation reports and weekly intelligence briefs are delivered to your inbox, so make sure you can receive them
• Pick a descriptive workspace name — something like "Acme Labs" or your company name works well. You'll see this across your dashboard and in team invitations
• One workspace per organization — if you're working on multiple ideas, each one becomes a separate project inside the same workspace

FAQ

Can I sign up with a company email?

Yes. Any valid email address works. If your company uses Google Workspace, the Google sign-in option will use your work email automatically.

What if I don't receive the verification email?

Check your spam folder first. If it's not there, click "Resend verification" on the sign-in page. Verification links expire after 24 hours. If you're still stuck, reach out to support.

Can I change my sign-up method later?

Yes. You can link a Google account to an email-based account (or vice versa) from your profile settings.
