Trust & Safety

Designed to reduce spam, ambiguity, and bad-faith founder behavior.

The platform keeps contact gated until interest is mutual, exposes moderation tooling early, and treats structured negotiation as a safety feature rather than a growth tactic.

Mutual-intent messaging

Direct contact details stay hidden until both sides opt into a connection. That keeps the discovery layer more respectful and less spam-prone.

Structured negotiation

Proposal templates surface the hard questions early: equity, vesting, IP, decision rights, and exit expectations.

Moderation workflow

Profiles, opportunities, and messages can be flagged and reviewed by moderators with suspension tools and an auditable action log.

Enforcement in the MVP

  • Flag profiles, messages, and opportunities from inside the product.
  • Admin moderation queue with suspension tools and action history.
  • Profile completion and verification badges to help users assess trust signals.
