I'd like to register for the course, but it asks me to complete information about my company. Surely, if I was only thinking of starting a startup and had not already started one I wouldn't have that information to provide. So, I'm not entirely sure how to complete the registration other than just making stuff up.

After submitting your basic user information, it should ask whether you're joining as an active founder or a future founder. If you select "Future Founder", you won't be asked to complete a company profile. If you accidentally selected the wrong track, you can update your selection at https://www.startupschool.org/track . Hope that makes sense!

EDIT: to those still running into issues here, the workarounds others have posted (fill out dummy company data, then go to "Choose a Track" and switch to "Future Founders" track) seem to work. Still trying to find the root cause here.

EDIT2: This should be resolved now for everyone.

Ah, thank you. Interestingly I didn't see that step. It went straight to the information about your business step. I've switched the selection now.

Every time I try to sign up it just takes me to step 4/4, with no way to go back. I’m on mobile.

Same as you here.

Just Invent some non sense there, and when you are inside, you can go to "My profile" > Choose Track, and choose "Future Founder"
