# Creating A Circle
Setup your Circle in Coordinape
## What's A Circle?
A Circle is equal to a team. Teams of people will allow you to compensate members within your organization.
### Circle Size
Circles can have 1-200+ members in them. We recommend Circles of at least **three members.** The closer the team members are, the more accurate the compensation process is.

## Setting up your Circle
You can create a Circle from the Coordinape homepage.
https://www.coordinape.com
Clicking on the **Get Started** button will take you to the app, where you can log in and create your Circle.
You can also create a new Circle from the Org Overview page by clicking the **Create Org** button or from the Org page by clicking the **Add Circle** button
### Circle Information
Complete the form below to set up your organization. The Circle Admin can change these fields once the Circle is created, but only by the Circle admin.
### Form Information
{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Username" %}
Your username will be how other users see your name in the Circle.
*(If you are already in other Circles, please use the same name used in the other Circles.)*
{% endtab %}
{% tab title="Circle Name" %}
**Circle Name:** This will be the Circle name that your users will select.

{% tab title="Organization" %}
**Organization:** This is the higher level of your Circle that will encompass all of the Circles within an organization.
The Organization name will need to be verified by the Coordinape Team to prevent spoofing from another Team.
**Acme DAO \[Organization]**
You might set up your Coordinape Circle like this.
* Design Team \[Circle]
* Dev Team \[Circle]
* Community \[Circle
