Benefits of Using a Temporary Phone Number for Blackbird
Explore the world of startup investing with a venture capital platform like Blackbird while ensuring your financial and personal information remains confidential. To join as an investor or submit a pitch as a founder, you are required to register an account with a phone number. A temporary phone number is an essential tool for maintaining privacy in the high-stakes, sensitive world of venture capital.
Protect Your Investor or Founder Anonymity
Whether you are an investor researching deals or a founder in stealth mode, your privacy is critical. Using a virtual phone number to register for Blackbird allows you to create your profile without linking your primary personal or business number to your activities. This protects you from unsolicited pitches if you're an investor, and protects your confidentiality if you're a founder.
A Secure Channel for a High-Trust Environment
The process of joining an investment platform requires secure verification, often with an OTP (One-Time Password). A disposable phone number provides a secure, private channel for this. You can get your account set up and start exploring opportunities, all with the confidence that your most important contact information is not being shared within the network until you choose to share it.
A Firewall for Your Professional Life
Using a temporary number acts as a firewall for your professional communications. It prevents your direct line from being added to databases that could lead to a flood of deals or pitches. It allows you to engage with the startup ecosystem on your own terms, ensuring your primary communication channels are reserved for your most important business.

First, double-check that you've copied the SMS code precisely as it appeared in your SMSFAST account and entered it correctly into Blackbird. Also, ensure the number you used is still active and within its valid time frame.
