Terms of Service

1. What Foundr is

Foundr is a software discovery platform. We publish information about early-stage companies and let users express non-binding interest signals to one another.

Foundr is available only to users who are of legal age in their jurisdiction. By creating an account you confirm you meet this requirement.

Foundr is not a broker-dealer, investment adviser, securities exchange, crowdfunding portal, custodian, or escrow service. We do not hold funds, execute or facilitate securities transactions, or take any fee related to, contingent on, or derived from any transaction between users.

2. Non-binding signals only

The strongest action an investor can take on Foundr is to express interest. This is a non-binding signal that informs the founder. Any actual transaction happens entirely off-platform, between the parties, on their own terms.

Contact details are exchanged only when both the investor and the founder explicitly opt in. We never auto-introduce parties or share contact information without mutual consent.

3. Founder representations

If you submit a startup, you confirm that the information you provide is accurate to the best of your knowledge. Verified-data badges reflect only what we technically retrieved through an API integration. Self-reported figures are your representations and are not independently checked by us.

You agree to indemnify Foundr for losses arising from false or misleading information you submit.

4. Investor responsibilities

Information on Foundr is provided for general informational purposes and is not investment advice or an offer to sell securities. You are solely responsible for your own investment decisions and for verifying anything you rely on.

If you are a US resident, you confirm your status as an accredited investor under SEC Rule 501(a). Users who do not so attest cannot access the investor product, including verified financial data and the ability to express interest.

5. Subscriptions and fees

Founders use Foundr for free. Where we charge, it is a subscription for access to platform features only. We never charge a commission, success fee, or any compensation related to, contingent on, or derived from any transaction between users — whether an investment or an acquisition. Our only revenue is subscription fees.

6. Acceptable use

• Do not submit unlawful, misleading, or infringing content.
• Do not solicit retail or unaccredited investors, or advertise minimums, public sales, or open offerings.
• Do not scrape, resell, or redistribute platform data.
• Do not attempt to access accounts, data, or systems you are not authorised to use.

7. No guarantee of outcome

We do not guarantee any fundraising, introduction, or investment outcome. We may approve, decline, feature, pause, or remove any listing, and may suspend or terminate any account at our discretion.

8. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Foundr is provided 'as is'. Our aggregate liability is limited to the greater of (a) the fees you paid us in the twelve months before the claim, or (b) US$100.

9. Changes and contact

We may update these terms; material changes will be notified by email or in-app. Questions about these terms can be sent to our support address.
