Creating a new Organization

MonsterOps lets a user belong to multiple Organizations, so you can create a new one whenever you need to set up a separate company workspace — for a new business, a side project, or a parallel team you don't want mixed in with your existing Organization.

This article walks through creating a new Organization from inside MonsterOps. The same flow runs for newly signed-up users who haven't joined an Organization yet — for them, MonsterOps drops them directly into the onboarding menu after signup.

Open the Organization selector

At the very top left of the screen, your current Organization name is shown with a small up/down arrow to its right. This is the Organization selector.

  1. Click the Organization name (or the arrow).
  2. A dropdown opens listing every Organization you're currently a member of.
  3. Below the list, you'll see a + Create organization option.

Selecting Create organization opens the onboarding menu for a new Organization.

Fill in the onboarding menu

The onboarding menu has two required fields and one optional survey.

Required fields

  • Organization name — the display name for your new Organization. This is what appears in the sidebar and in the Organization selector.
  • Website URL — your company website. MonsterOps validates the URL, so it needs to be a valid web address (for example, https://monsterops.io/).

Both fields must be filled in to continue.

Optional: Current challenges

Below the required fields is a checklist labeled Current challenges. This is a short survey about what your company is currently grappling with. It's entirely optional — leaving everything unchecked is fine. The information is collected for product feedback rather than driving setup behavior, so nothing in the Organization is configured differently based on what you select.

The available options are:

  • No growth
  • No alignment
  • Founder Bottleneck
  • Recurring Problems
  • Unproductive meetings
  • No accountability
  • No organizational focus
  • Growing too fast
  • No follow-through
  • Unclear roles
  • Avoiding conflict
  • Busy work
  • Cashflow challenges
  • Can't attract talent
  • Losing talent
  • Strategic direction
  • Too many priorities
  • Unclear priorities
  • Others

Check whichever boxes apply, or skip the section entirely.

Finish creating the Organization

Once the required fields are filled in, complete the onboarding menu to create the Organization. MonsterOps drops you straight into the new Organization, ready to start configuring it.

From here, the recommended next step is to work through the Get Started tab in the left-side navigation, which walks Owners and Admins through the foundational setup (Core Values, Org Chart, Objectives, teams, KPIs, Rocks, Issues, and the first meeting). See Using the Get Started tab for the full walkthrough.

Switching between Organizations later

The Organization selector at the top left lists every Organization you belong to. To switch, just open the dropdown and click the Organization you want to move into. Your view updates to that Organization's sidebar, dashboard, and teams.

You can belong to as many Organizations as you need — there's no cap, and your account stays the same across all of them.

Things to keep in mind

  • A user can belong to multiple Organizations at once. Creating a new one doesn't affect the Organizations you're already in.
  • The Organization name and website URL are required and validated. The URL needs to be a real web address, including the protocol (e.g., https://).
  • The Current challenges checklist is a survey for the MonsterOps team and doesn't change how your Organization is configured.
  • The same onboarding menu runs for newly signed-up users who don't belong to any Organization yet — they're sent straight to it after signup.
  • After creating an Organization, you become its Owner automatically, which is the highest standard permission level. See Working with your Organization for what that means.
