# Creating an Organization

Organizations are the core building block of SimplyVest. Each organization has:

- A unique name and slug
- Members with roles (owner, admin, member)
- An optional equity token
- Vesting streams linked to members

## How to create

1. **Sign in** with your Solana wallet
2. Click **Create Organization**
3. Fill in the details:
   - **Name** — the display name (e.g., "Acme Corp")
   - **Slug** — a URL-friendly identifier (e.g., "acme") — must be unique
   - **Description** — optional, a short summary of your organization
4. Click **Create**

Your wallet will be asked to sign a message (not a transaction — this is a web2 operation).

## Owner role

The creator of an organization is automatically the **owner**. Owners can:

- Update organization details
- Manage members (add, remove, change roles)
- Create or link an equity token
- Vest tokens to members
- Delete the organization

## Organization settings

Once created, you can update:

- **Name** — change the display name
- **Description** — update the organization description

Go to your organization's settings page to make changes.
