Cant sign into Regular account, New account link to social authentification. Merge? Answered
Hi there,
I have a Cruchbase profile connected to my old company I Founded, Advano -- https://www.crunchbase.com/person/alexander-girau.
I have started a new company. I would like to link my original profile to this company -- https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/group1
However, I created a new profile and linked it to my social authentications and email - alex@girau. So now, when I sign in using Google SSO, it does not sign into my regular account but into my new profile, which I cannot access.
Ultimately, I would like to have one Crunchbase profile, have all my social accounts connected and used as SSO, have my profile linked to both companies I started, begin updating information, and update the new company information for Group1. I am no longer employed at Advano, so I do not need to update that.
Any help is appreciated.

Hi Alexander Girau!
On Crunchbase, registered user accounts and person profile pages are completely separate.
Your user account is the private information that you can use to control your billing, login information, and alerts. A profile page is what displays externally on Crunchbase - these are completely separate. Because Crunchbase is a crowdsourced platform, any registered user can add or edit any profile page - profiles are not explicitly linked to any user.
User Accounts:
You access your user account when you log in or register.
User accounts do not appear in search.
User accounts can be edited by clicking 'Account' at the upper right of any page.
Profiles:
Person profiles can be found in search and linked to company profiles.
Anyone with a user account can add or edit any profile.
You can edit your profile anytime by clicking the three-dot icon, and selecting 'Edit' at the upper right corner of the profile.
