## What's an organization?

Your organization represents your team in the Jambo Dash.

It is a group of people that own hosts and events which allows you to collaborate on hosts and events.

For paid events, proceeds from ticket sales go to the organization that owns the event, minus any pay splits.

## Creating an organization

:::hint{type="info"}
Already have a team on Jambo? Don't create a second organization. Ask an owner of your existing organization to invite you from the **Team** page in the Dash. See the **Managing your team** guide.

When you first sign into your Jambo Dash account, the getting-started checklist walks you through setup. The first step is creating your organization:

1. Enter an **Organization name**
2. Click **Create**

The name that you pick won't be visible to customers on Jambo. It's only used to identify your team within the Dash.

The Dash only offers to create an organization when your account isn't part of one yet. If you're already on a team, you'll go straight to that organization instead.

You become the organization's owner, which means you can manage payouts and invite your team. Next, the checklist moves on to adding your events. See the **Getting started checklist** guide.

## Switching organizations

If you belong to more than one organization, click your name in the top right corner of the Dash and pick the organization under **Organizations**. Everything you see in the Dash, from events to payouts, belongs to the organization you've selected.
