Terms of use · Foundmates

Draft. This text needs to be reviewed by a lawyer before the public launch.

1. What Foundmates is

Foundmates is a network for people who are building a business. It helps you find people with ideas, skills and capital. We don't act as an intermediary in any deals, and we are not a party to agreements between members.

2. Plans and prices

Basic use is free: profile, search, following and messages (when there is a connection from section 4). The paid plan is Pro: the team workspace (partners you invite to your team join for free). Foundmates takes no commission on deals. We may pick some members on a paid plan and feature them on our channels (Instagram, TikTok, Facebook), sometimes with paid ads, at our cost. We can't promise to pick you, and we never publish an ad without your permission. Prices are on Foundmates/cijene and are the same for everyone, whatever country you live in. Subscriptions are billed monthly or yearly. Pro can be tried free for 30 days, once per account. After the trial, the plan is charged automatically to your card through Stripe. We send you an email reminder 3 days before the first charge. You can cancel your subscription with one click on the Account page. If you cancel during the trial, nothing is charged. If you cancel later, access stays until the end of the paid period.

Founding members and invites. The first 100 members who create a profile (not counting our own team) get a Founding member badge and a year of Pro for free. After that, founding members pay €9.90 a month for Pro and that price does not go up while their subscription stays active, even if we raise it for others later. Anyone who brings 3 people onto the waitlist with their invite link gets 3 more months of Pro for free, on the account with the same email they used to join the waitlist. This invite reward is given only once per person. Free months count from the day we start charging for plans, not from the day you sign up. Fake, duplicate or self-made signups (e.g. the same person with several emails) don't count, and we may remove a reward earned through them.

3. Your profile

Your profile must be yours and truthful. One person, one profile.
You must be at least 16 years old.
Your email and phone number are never shown publicly on your profile.

4. Rules of conduct

No spam, scams, fake offers, insults or hate speech.
Messages are only possible when there is a connection: two people follow each other, are on the same project team, or an investor has shown interest in a project.
You can report any profile or post, and block any person.

We may remove content or block a profile that breaks these rules.

5. Liability

Get to know someone before you sign anything. Foundmates does not check members' finances, intentions or abilities, and is not responsible for agreements between them.

Contract templates (NDA, co-founder agreement, term sheet) are provided as-is and are not legal advice. Have a lawyer review a contract before you rely on it.

6. Deleting your account

You can delete your profile at any time on the Edit profile page. Deleting it removes your profile, posts, comments and messages, and cancels your subscription.
