Legal notice

1. Operator and current sales status

The service at foundersofequity.com is currently operated in Sweden by a private individual using the Founders of Equity trading identity. Legal contact: foundersofequity@gmail.com.

Founders of Equity is not currently presented as a registered company. Paid subscriptions remain unavailable until the service has published complete legal seller information, including the legal seller name, contact address, and seller contact email. This does not affect free browsing or research access that is otherwise available in the product.

Last updated: 20 August 2026. Swedish law is the default governing law, subject to mandatory consumer protections.

2. Research status and estimates

Founders of Equity publishes curated research about founder careers, companies, education, funding, and wealth. Net worth, rank, ownership, start capital, and timeline entries may be estimates drawn from public sources, historical snapshots, and editorial research. They can be incomplete, delayed, contested, or wrong.

We do not guarantee that a profile is complete or current. Financial figures may omit debt, tax, liquidity limits, private holdings, and disputed ownership. The index should not be treated as an official biography, securities filing, credit report, or authoritative valuation.

3. No investment, tax, legal, or professional advice

Content on the service is for information, education, and research. It is not investment, tax, legal, accounting, employment, medical, or other professional advice. It is not a recommendation to buy, sell, hold, fund, or avoid any security, business, or asset. You remain responsible for your own decisions and should obtain professional advice where appropriate.

4. Pattern Engine and AI output

Pattern Engine combines the FOE index with AI-generated research and, where configured, public web research. Outputs may be incomplete, biased, inaccurate, stale, or unsupported by the source context. Do not treat an answer as verified fact without checking its cited or underlying sources.

Do not submit passwords, API keys, confidential business information, special-category personal data, or unrelated personal data about other people. AI output is an aid to research, not a substitute for independent verification.

5. Profile corrections and objections

We aim to use public, professionally relevant information about notable founders and businesspeople. If you believe a profile is inaccurate, outdated, misleading, or should be reviewed, email foundersofequity@gmail.com with the profile URL, the specific field at issue, and a reliable supporting source. We assess substantiated requests and may correct, annotate, restrict, or remove information where appropriate.

6. Access and misuse

Guest, free, and paid access levels can unlock different amounts of curated data and Pattern Engine capacity. Circumventing access controls, scraping locked fields, sharing accounts to evade limits, or extracting the database in bulk is prohibited under the Terms of Service.

7. Third parties and external sources

Founders of Equity is not endorsed by or affiliated with Forbes, Bloomberg, Google, Stripe, Supabase, Vercel, listed people, or their companies unless we explicitly say otherwise. Names, marks, and source materials belong to their respective owners. External links are provided for convenience and are not under our control.

8. Content use and intellectual property

The site design, software, curation, database structure, editorial text, and branding are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. Limited quotation with attribution for personal research is allowed. Bulk scraping, commercial redistribution, resale, republication of curated profiles, or use of automated means to reproduce protected parts of the service requires prior written permission.

9. Availability and liability

The service is provided on an "as available" basis. We may change, suspend, or remove features, sources, access levels, or content to maintain security, accuracy, legal compliance, or service quality. To the extent permitted by mandatory law, we do not accept liability for indirect or consequential losses arising from use of, inability to use, or reliance on the service.

10. Privacy, terms, and contact

Personal-data processing is described in the Privacy Policy. Product use, access, and billing conditions are described in the Terms of Service. For legal, privacy, correction, or security questions, email foundersofequity@gmail.com.
