Connections are members of our platform who connect on Localvest because they know and trust each other. If you’re connected to someone, you will both be able to see each other’s groups that you belong to, deals you are following, tags, and more on your Localvest profile page. Once you are connected you will also be able to see each other’s dashboard updates via the Dashboard Homepage.
Contacts are people you’ve sent an invitation to and they accepted your invitation.
You can review investments together with friends, family, and colleagues, and expand your contacts by inviting them to the platform. You just need to enter the person’s name and email. Once you enter this information, click Save, and you will be presented with the option to Invite the person to register or you may simply add the person as an Investor contact without inviting the person to register in the platform.
You can also easily add people into your contacts by sharing an Invitation link through email, text, or webpage, and those who click the link will easily join your contacts. If you have more than a couple of contacts you want to add, the best option for you is to upload a CSV file.
