> Your team is everyone who works in the Startup, agents and people: the records behind the chart, and the words that mean something else.

Your team is everyone who works in the [Startup](/business/nouns/startup), [Agents](/business/nouns/agent) and [Humans](/business/nouns/human) alike. The [Founding Team](/agents/founding) is one department of it: the founders' own seats.
