My BII program
The My BII Program section in Orbit provides a personal space for users to access and edit essential information about their company and stay updated on upcoming events.
Upon clicking My BII Program, you will find four options: Your Company, Investment Readiness, My Calendar, and Events. This guide outlines the features and functionalities of each option.
My company
The Your Company page enables users to view and manage their company and investor platform details, employee information, and file-sharing options. Below is an overview of the key features:
Company details
During onboarding, company admins are prompted to provide essential information, including General details (e.g., location and LinkedIn URL), a brief company description and the company logo.
These details can be edited at any time by all users associated with the company. This ensures the information remains accurate and up to date.
Some information, like the Company Name, Program, and Vertical, cannot be edited as it is synchronized with Apollo. If any of this uneditable information is incorrect, the company admin should contact their anchor for assistance.

Throughout the program, the framework is used to document and follow the companies’ progress as well as to help start-ups identify and address specific gaps.
