Founder Terms

Last updated: 15 June 2026

These Founder Terms are supplemental to our Terms of Use and apply to you if you list, or seek to list, a startup on the CapBlue platform at capblue.in (the "Platform"), operated by CapEasy Consulting Private Limited ("CapBlue", "we", "us" or "our"). Capitalised terms not defined here have the meaning given in the Terms of Use. If there is any conflict, these Founder Terms prevail for Founders on the matters they cover.

By creating a Founder account or submitting a listing, you accept these Founder Terms.

1. Who can act as a Founder

You may only create or manage a listing if you are authorised to represent and bind the startup concerned. You confirm that the information you provide about the company, its team, cap table, fundraise and documents is accurate and that you are entitled to share it.

2. Listing and curation

CapBlue applies an editorial curation process before any listing is presented to Investors. You acknowledge that:

  • listing is at our discretion — submitting a profile does not guarantee that your company will be curated, listed, scored, matched or introduced to any Investor;
  • we may decline, edit (for clarity/format), pause or remove a listing at our discretion;
  • any curation outcome, score or "thesis match" is editorial and informational and is not an endorsement, valuation opinion or assurance of funding; and
  • we do not guarantee investor interest, introductions, term sheets, funding or any commercial outcome.

3. Your data room and information

You control what you upload to your data room. You represent and warrant that:

  • you have the right to upload and share all information and documents you provide;
  • your information does not infringe any third-party right or confidentiality obligation; and
  • you will not upload export-controlled, classified or otherwise restricted material, including in the defence sector, that you are not entitled to disclose.

Information shared with matched Investors is shared on the basis of the confidentiality provisions in the Terms of Use. You remain responsible for deciding what to disclose and to whom.

4. KYC and accuracy

You agree to complete KYC and verification when requested and to keep your information current. Material inaccuracies, or failure to verify, may result in your listing being paused or removed.

5. Anonymised public showcase

Some listings may appear on a public, anonymised showcase displaying only a limited, non-identifying set of fields (for example, sector, a short blurb, valuation and ask). By listing, you consent to such anonymised display unless you tell us otherwise. Identifying details are not published in the showcase without your authorisation.

6. Standardised deal paper and term sheets

We may make standardised term-sheet templates and deal paper available as a convenience. These are templates and starting points only. They are not legal advice, are not tailored to your circumstances, and may need changes for your situation. You must obtain your own legal counsel before relying on, negotiating or executing any document. CapBlue is not your lawyer and is not responsible for the legal sufficiency of any document you choose to use.

7. Fees

You may currently apply and list free of charge. Any due diligence fee, success-based fee payable on a closed round, or other charge is governed by a separate written engagement between you and CapBlue, and is not payable merely by using the Platform. We will make any such terms clear before they apply. Fees are exclusive of taxes (including GST).

8. CapBlue is not your agent or fundraising intermediary

You acknowledge and agree that:

  • CapBlue does not raise capital on your behalf and is not your broker, agent, placement agent or fundraising intermediary;
  • CapBlue is not an issuer, underwriter or adviser in respect of any securities you offer;
  • any offer or issue of securities by you (including any private placement) must comply with applicable law — including the Companies Act, 2013 (such as Section 42 on private placement), the rules made under it, and applicable SEBI regulations — and compliance is your sole responsibility; and
  • you are responsible for the accuracy of all representations, financials, projections and valuations you present, and for your own tax, legal and regulatory advice.

9. Representations and warranties

You represent and warrant, on each occasion you use the Platform, that the information you provide is true, accurate and not misleading; that you have authority to provide it; and that your use of the Platform and any fundraise complies with applicable law.

10. Indemnity

In addition to the indemnity in the Terms of Use, you will indemnify and hold harmless CapBlue and its personnel against claims, losses and expenses arising from your listing, your Content, your data room, your fundraise, or any breach of these Founder Terms or of applicable securities or company law.

11. Removal and termination

You may request removal of your listing at any time. We may pause or remove a listing, or terminate Founder access, in line with the Terms of Use. Confidentiality and indemnity obligations survive.
