FoundersShowcase Community Guidelines
Build boldly. Showcase honestly. Connect professionally.
FoundersShowcase exists to help builders put their work in front of the world.
Be Authentic
Represent yourself, your company and your product honestly. Do not impersonate people or organizations.
Showcase Real Work
Listings should represent genuine businesses, products, software, projects, research, services or legitimate concepts.
Clearly distinguish prototypes and concepts from commercially available products.
Own What You Upload
Only upload materials you own or have permission to distribute.
No Fraud or Deception
The following are not allowed:
- Fake companies
- Fabricated credentials
- False performance claims
- Fake endorsements
- Misleading investment claims
- Phishing
- Fraudulent offers
Don't Manipulate Discovery
Do not artificially inflate views, saves, messages, clicks, rankings or Featured and Trending eligibility through bots, scripts, coordinated manipulation or other abusive activity.
Respect People
No harassment, threats, hateful content or targeted abuse.
Keep It Safe
Never post or distribute:
- Malware
- Malicious downloads
- Credential theft
- Security exploits
- Dangerous links
- Unlawful content
Opportunities Require Due Diligence
A connection through FoundersShowcase is an introduction, not an endorsement. Creators and visitors are responsible for evaluating one another.
Capital and Investment
Founders may state that they are interested in investors or capital where lawful. They must not use FoundersShowcase to misrepresent securities offerings or to evade applicable securities laws.
FoundersShowcase does not verify or endorse investments merely because they appear on the platform.
Reporting
Every public Showcase includes a Report Showcase link. Reports feed the administrator moderation queue for review.
Enforcement
Depending on severity, we may apply:
- A warning
- Content removal
- Loss of discovery visibility
- Showcase suspension
- Account suspension
- Account closure
FoundersShowcase is free because great ideas deserve an audience. Help us keep that audience useful, credible and worth connecting with.
