A-Round exists to support early-stage startup leaders, not exploit them. We believe a healthy, sustainable community can grow without compromising trust.
If we ever choose to monetize this group, we will abide by the following principles.
We will always offer a free, high-value tier with access to conversations, curated content, and practical insights.
Everyone in the intended audience should feel like they belong here. They do.
We will never sell, rent, or share your personally identifiable information (PII) — including your name, email address, and LinkedIn profile.
We may sell aggregate usage data (e.g., how many people viewed a topic or joined an event), but we will always take steps to make it:
No surprise emails. No unexpected messages. No weird vendor spam.
If we ever decide to offer sponsored content, paid message placements, partner perks or discounts, etc., you will be able to opt in. You will then be able to opt out at any time.
Everyone is opted out by default.
If we break trust, we break the community.
