The first time you log in to Rocketpunch, you set your handle and career. You can change this information later on your profile.

​
Set your handle

​
Where is the handle used?

  • Profile address: Your handle becomes your profile URL. (Example: www.rocketpunch.com/@yourhandle)
  • Search and mentions: You can search for profiles by name and handle, or mention someone by putting their handle after @.
  • Short profile URL: Add “.rockets.app” to your handle to get a short profile URL. Use it on your resume, other social media, business cards, and so on.
    (Example: if your handle is steve → steve.rockets.app)

​
Handle rules

  • It can be 3 to 30 characters long.
  • Only lowercase English letters (a–z), numbers (0–9), and hyphens (-) can be used.
  • Hyphens (-) cannot be used consecutively, and cannot come at the beginning or the end.
  • A handle that another user is already using is not available.
Handles that are violent or offensive, spam handles, handles containing sensitive personal information such as a phone number,
and handles that impersonate a company or brand on a personal profile are not allowed, and Rocketpunch may change them at its discretion.

A company profile is separate from a personal profile. If you want to create one, register it in Creating a company profile.

​
Changing your handle

You can change your handle yourself in My Profile > Edit profile. Once changed, you have to wait 60 days before you can change it again. Within 30 days of the change, though, you can revert to your previous handle regardless of that limit. During that period, the old handle address automatically points to the new one. After 30 days, another user can take the old handle. If you are using a handle created under the old rules, you are prompted to set a handle that meets the current rules the next time you log in. Your handle may also change when you migrate or merge a previous account’s profile into your current account.
