Network rules and policies

StartupNetwork is a shared, nonprofit space. These rules exist so everyone can work together with trust. By joining, you accept them. The rules may be updated as the network grows.

Identity and profile

  • A profile must belong to a real person. Creating a profile in someone else's name is forbidden.
  • Describe your background, skills and portfolio accurately. Claiming other people's work as yours is a violation.
  • Each person has one personal account. Teams and companies create a team page, not a personal account.

Discussion and conduct

  • Write with respect. Insults, humiliation, threats and harassment are not accepted.
  • Do not publish other people's personal information, such as phone numbers, addresses or documents, without permission.
  • Repeated promotion and spam are not allowed. Use the "Product showcase" post type to present a product.
  • Illegal content, fraud and pyramid schemes are removed immediately.

Teams and collaboration

  • The role you publish must be real, with the type of collaboration stated correctly.
  • If the role is unpaid, mark it as "volunteer" or "co-founder" and state equity or compensation terms clearly.
  • Applicants' information is used only for that role and must not be passed on.

Events and webinars

  • Events must relate to startups, entrepreneurship, technology or related skills.
  • If the event has a fee, state it clearly in the description.
  • The online meeting link is shown only to registered attendees; do not share it publicly.

Documents and intellectual property

  • Share only documents you have the right to publish.
  • Credit the source when quoting other people's ideas and content.

Handling violations

  • Any member can report a post, profile, team or event with the "Report" button.
  • Admins review reports. Depending on severity: a warning, content removal, temporary suspension or account closure.
  • If you think a decision was wrong, you can ask for a review.
