Invitation-only entry, a published Code, and zero-tolerance enforcement keep the Co-Founders Suite safe for founders, co-founders, partners, and capital.
Every member signs the Code before trials begin. Breaches trigger immediate review and potential removal.
No inflation of traction, credentials, or commitments. Every representation is auditable.
Terms, equity, and expectations must be explicit. No surprise renegotiations or hidden agendas.
Concerns are surfaced to counterparts or stewards, not whispered into the ecosystem.
Challenge ideas, never undermine people. We remove ego-driven conflict fast.
Trial artifacts, partner data, and references stay sealed unless consented.
Give back: intros, pattern-sharing, or support. Community health requires reciprocity.
Integrity, conduct, reliability, and governance concerns are investigated with speed and discretion.
We treat application data as privileged. No identifiable data is sold, and every backchannel requires consent.
We collect only what is needed for evaluation and governance. No sale of identifiable data ever.
Trial workspaces auto-expire after 120 days. Application data purged if not admitted within six months.
References or background checks only occur with explicit written consent and logged context.
Zero-trust posture: least-privilege access, encrypted storage, and audit logs for every file touch.
Access, correction, or deletion requests honored within 30 days. Dedicated privacy desk for escalations.
Incident response clock begins under 24 hours, with transparent notifications and remediation steps.
