Investor & Restricted Access Terms

"Restricted Information" means any founder, startup or team information made available to you through Foundera that is not designated Public by the founder — including startup profiles shared under Stealth, Investors-only or Investors + Mentors visibility, metrics, traction data, pitch decks, updates, documents, contact details and AI analyses derived from them.

"Your Organization" means the fund, firm, company or practice you identified on your Foundera account, and its personnel who need the information for the permitted purpose and are bound by equivalent obligations.

You may use Restricted Information solely to evaluate the relevant startup and a potential investment, mentoring, advisory or service relationship with it, and to communicate with that startup through Foundera. Any other use requires the founder's prior written consent.

You agree that Restricted Information:

• may only be used for the permitted purpose described above;
• may not be publicly disclosed, published, posted or shared with the press;
• may not be scraped, crawled, bulk-exported, or collected by automated means;
• may not be sold, licensed, brokered or otherwise monetised;
• may not be redistributed outside Your Organization;
• may not be used to impersonate or misrepresent a founder, startup or Foundera;
• may not be used to train, fine-tune or evaluate AI systems unrelated to the permitted purpose;
• remains the property of the founder, who retains all ownership and intellectual property rights;
• may not be used to circumvent Foundera's visibility settings, approval requirements or access controls.

You will protect Restricted Information with at least the care you apply to your own confidential information, limit internal access to those who need it, and notify us promptly at support@sololabs.ventures if you become aware of unauthorised use or disclosure.

These obligations do not apply to information that:

• is or becomes publicly available without breach of these terms;
• you already possessed without a duty of confidentiality;
• you lawfully receive from a third party who is not bound by an obligation to the founder; or
• you must disclose to comply with law or valid legal process, where you give notice to us in advance if legally permitted.

Nothing in these terms restricts you from independently developing, investing in, advising or working with businesses or concepts that may be similar to a startup you saw on Foundera, provided you do not use or disclose Restricted Information in breach of these terms. Similarity between a startup on Foundera and another business does not by itself establish that Restricted Information was accessed, copied or misused. Equally, these terms do not create any obligation for you to invest, respond, mentor or engage.

Foundera does not verify the accuracy or completeness of founder-supplied information and provides it "as is". Foundera is not an investment adviser, broker-dealer or securities exchange, and nothing made available through the platform is an offer, solicitation or recommendation regarding any security. You are solely responsible for your own diligence and decisions. AI-generated analyses are subject to our AI Disclosure.

Your obligations for each item of Restricted Information continue for three (3) years from the date you received it, or for as long as it remains confidential, whichever is longer, and survive termination of your Foundera account. Breach may result in immediate revocation of investor or restricted access, account termination, and any remedies available to Foundera or the affected founder — including injunctive relief, since monetary damages may be inadequate.

These terms supplement, and do not replace, the Foundera Terms of Use, Privacy Policy and Community Guidelines. Where they conflict on the handling of Restricted Information, these terms prevail. Governing law and jurisdiction follow the Terms of Use.
