StartupRunway Trust & Transparency Policy
Building an Ecosystem of Integrity

Your data, ideas, and innovations are safe with us. We safeguard every interaction across StartupRunway’s growing ecosystem.

1. Purpose

StartupRunway exists to enable transparent collaboration between innovators and enablers. Trust is the foundation of our ecosystem — we are committed to protecting participant data, ensuring ethical investment tracking, and promoting fair, responsible engagement across the platform.

2. Data Confidentiality

  • Founders and entrepreneurs retain full ownership of their data and IP.
  • Confidential startup information is never disclosed publicly without consent.
  • All data is secured using AES-256 encryption and TLS 1.3.
  • Only verified and authorized profiles can access private data.

3. Transparency & Accountability

  • All investors, mentors, and service providers use verified identities.
  • Every access request and interaction is logged and traceable.
  • Unauthorized or suspicious requests are auto-flagged and reviewed by our Trust Team.

4. Founder & Entrepreneur Control

  • Participants choose who can view what, and for how long.
  • Access to decks, prototypes, or finances is always consent-based.
  • Visibility tiers (Private / Invite-Only / Public) offer granular control.

  • Investor tracking is available only on paid, approved plans.
  • Investors agree to our strict Code of Conduct before access.
  • Investor payments (minus platform fees) directly fund startup growth.
