Updates & Content

Published 24 March 2026By Jordan Morris

IgniteAI has a rich content layer built for a startup community. You can post structured startup updates, share quick thoughts as statuses, publish long-form articles, and engage with everything in the activity feed.

The Activity Feed

The feed is your home on IgniteAI. It shows updates and activity from startups you follow, squads you belong to, and the broader community. Go to Feed in the navigation to see it.

You can filter the feed by type, startup, or squad.

Startup Updates

Startup updates are the primary way Founders share what is happening. Each update is tied to a startup and has a specific type.

The Four Update Types

Type When to use it Progress Regular weekly or sprint updates — what you built, shipped, or learned Milestone A significant achievement — first customer, product launch, funding round Seeking Help A specific ask from the community — looking for a lawyer, a developer, a beta tester Announcement News you want the community to know — new hire, partnership, event

How to Post a Startup Update

  1. Go to your Startup page or to the Feed.
  2. Click New Update or the compose button.
  3. Select the Update Type.
  4. Write your update using the rich text editor.
  5. Attach files if relevant.
  6. Choose the Visibility for this update.
  7. Click Publish.

Visibility Options

Visibility Who can see it Public Everyone, including people not logged in Followers Only Members who follow your startup Squad Only Members of your current squad Private Only you

Reactions

Every update, status, and article can receive reactions:

  • Like — general appreciation
  • Insightful — this was genuinely useful or thought-provoking

Click the reaction icon below any piece of content. Click again to remove your reaction.

Comments

Comments let you respond to updates, statuses, and articles. Comments support one level of threading — you can reply directly to a comment.

Statuses

Statuses are short-form posts — similar to Twitter/X. They are for quick thoughts or observations not tied to a specific startup.

  1. Go to the Feed page.
  2. Find the What is on your mind? compose area.
  3. Type your status and click Post.

Articles

Articles are long-form, blog-style posts written by community members.

  1. Go to Articles in the navigation.
  2. Click New Article.
  3. Add a title, write your content, and add tags.
  4. Click Publish.

Tips

  • Post Progress updates weekly. Consistency builds credibility and trust.
  • Use Seeking Help posts strategically. Be precise — specific asks get responses.
  • Set visibility intentionally. Squad-only updates are great for candid progress sharing.
  • Engage with other founders updates. React and comment on the startups you are following.
