Deck submissions
When you submit a deck we receive what you enter in the form: company name, website, country, sector, stage, revenue and growth, round details, your deck file or link, founder names and LinkedIn profiles, and your email. We also record which page and campaign link brought you to the form.
- Why: to assess the company as a possible investment and to reply to you.
- Legal basis: steps you ask us to take before a possible agreement (GDPR Art. 6(1)(b)) and our legitimate interest in reviewing investment opportunities (Art. 6(1)(f)).
- Who sees it: the general partner. If we move forward and you agree, we share your materials with investors in our syndicate. We never publish company details without your consent.
- How long: up to 24 months after our last contact, unless we invest, in which case we keep records for as long as the law requires. You can ask us to delete your submission earlier.
Share sale requests
When you use the form on /sell we receive your contact details, the company and the details of the stake you want to sell that you choose to share.
- Why: to decide whether we can make an offer and to reply to you.
- Legal basis: the same as for deck submissions (GDPR Art. 6(1)(b) and 6(1)(f)).
- Who sees it: the general partner. We contact the company only after you agree.
- How long: up to 24 months after our last contact, unless we buy, in which case we keep records for as long as the law requires.
Syndicate applications
When you apply on /invest we receive your contact details and what you tell us about how you invest.
- Why: to assess your application, check that we may share deal information with you under the rules of your country, and send you deal memos.
- Legal basis: steps you ask us to take before an agreement (GDPR Art. 6(1)(b)) and our legal obligations where investor checks apply (Art. 6(1)(c)).
- Who sees it: the general partner, and the providers that run the SPVs when you invest in a deal.
- How long: while you are a member and up to 24 months after our last contact, or longer where the law requires records of your investments.
