1. Agreement and eligibility
These Terms govern your access to VenturePass, including its websites, founder and investor workspaces, matching tools, profiles, communications, and related services. By creating an account or using the service, you agree to these Terms. You must be at least 18 years old and able to enter a binding agreement.
2. What VenturePass provides
VenturePass is software and a two-sided marketplace that helps founders organize fundraising information, identify potentially relevant investors, manage a fundraising pipeline, and request mutual introductions. Investors can define an investment mandate and review standardized startup profiles.
VenturePass is not a broker-dealer, investment adviser, placement agent, law firm, or accounting firm. We do not offer or sell securities, negotiate investments, hold funds, recommend investments, or guarantee fundraising or investment results. A match score is informational and does not constitute investment advice or endorsement.
3. Accounts and security
You must provide accurate information, protect your credentials, and promptly notify us of unauthorized access. You are responsible for activity under your account. We may require verification of identity, firm affiliation, or authority to represent a company or fund.
4. Founder profiles and investor mandates
You retain ownership of information and materials you submit. You grant VenturePass a limited license to host, process, analyze, and display that content as needed to operate and improve the service. Founders control when a profile is submitted. Investors control their stated mandate and review decisions. You must have the rights and permissions needed to provide all submitted content.
5. Confidentiality and introductions
Do not upload information you are not authorized to share. VenturePass applies access controls but cannot guarantee that recipients will treat submissions as confidential unless they have separately agreed to do so. An accepted introduction allows the relevant founder and investor to receive contact information and communicate directly.
6. Subscriptions and billing
Free and paid features are described on the membership page. Paid Founder Pro plans renew automatically at the selected billing interval until canceled. Fees are charged through our payment processor and are non-refundable except where required by law or expressly stated at purchase. You can manage or cancel a subscription through the customer billing portal; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid period.
We may change prices prospectively with reasonable notice. VenturePass does not charge transaction-based success fees in this version of the service.
7. Acceptable use
You agree to follow our Acceptable Use Policy. Among other restrictions, you may not scrape the platform, send mass or deceptive outreach, misrepresent your identity or metrics, upload malicious code, evade access controls, or use the service to violate securities, privacy, anti-spam, export-control, or other laws.
8. Service changes and termination
We may modify, suspend, or discontinue features and may restrict or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, create risk, or misuse the marketplace. You may stop using VenturePass at any time and may request account deletion. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination will survive.
9. Disclaimers
The service is provided “as is” and “as available.” To the fullest extent permitted by law, VenturePass disclaims warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and any warranty arising from course of dealing. Matching, scores, investor data, analytics, and forecasts may be incomplete or inaccurate and should be independently evaluated.
10. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, VenturePass will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data, goodwill, fundraising opportunities, or investments. VenturePass’s aggregate liability for claims relating to the service will not exceed the greater of $100 or the amount you paid VenturePass during the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim.
11. Changes and contact
We may update these Terms and will post the updated effective date. Material changes may also be communicated through the service or by email. Questions may be sent to legal@getventurepass.com.
