As you engage with companies and projects, those companies will automatically begin to appear in your portal's companies. Your portal comes equipped with all the tools you will need to manage these ongoing relationships while continuing to engage these companies on projects for your learners.

Companies
Whenever a company interacts with your portal by:
Submitting a match request to one of your experiences
Matching one of their projects with an experience

From this listing of companies, you will be able to see all actions they take while engaging inside of your portal such as projects they have posted, experiences they have matched with, subsequent teams of learners that have worked on those projects and more.
Aside from viewing their activity, your company network also allows you to take several actions to continue to engage with the company including:

Portal passes
Portal passes are used to grant companies direct access to your portal. This direct access allow them to visit your portal on its custom subdomain, post projects to your portal's private marketplace, and match those projects with your portal's private experiences.
Portal passes are the best tool to build to private network of trust companies whether they are found through Riipen's open marketplace, or brought in from your existing private network. Read more about portal passes with our full guides here.
